So the last 6 months or so for customers who use TELUS email have been fairly painful, due to timeouts to the server, or webmail just not letting you log in.
Starting Monday, TELUS is rolling out its new email platform.
Initially, 7,000 customers will be migrated to the new platform, with the intention that the rest of the userbase will be brought over by the end of June/July.
Main features
- more stability and uptime
- 5.0GiB (yes 5 gigabytes) of storage space per mailbox (this honestly impressed me, I thought 1 or 2 would be what we'd be rolling out)
- newer/cleaner interface via webmail
- for those who use IMAP, you should reselect your folders (Sent is now default, not sent-mail, for example)
Now the initial question that is going to be asked by a lot of webmail users when they get migrated over.
Q - how do I view my storage usage?
A - at the top right, your name will be displayed. Hover your mouse over it and a popup will show you.
I personally don't use TELUS email but I know this will be a relief for a lot of you. Hopefully it doesn't die on day 1 or anyday after.
