We're in the midst of building a new customer portal, in the mean-time just drop us a line at support@start.ca or give us a call and we'll get you setup. Thanks.

Guru join:2008-10-01 kudos:2 Reviews: ·TekSavvy DSL	reply to rocca I dislike their email system. The look is bad, outdated and old. One thing I really wish they improve is their email system. Oh did you know?, we also have to give the password to the agent on the phone and use that password. How can I trust that? I just can't! I can't change the password on my own. This is 2013 and not 1999!!!!!!! Sorry I had to say this as this irritated me when they asked for my password!

Not sure if that's changed recently, since they've "redone" their portal.

You do realize that if an agent/admin really wanted access to your email, they could just set the password themselves or log in to the admin system and look at every email you have, in today's traditional "secure" systems??

MichelR join:2011-07-03 Ottawa, ON Reviews: ·Start Communicat.. ·voip.ms ·Rogers Hi-Speed	reply to mlord My advice: Don't get hooked on your ISP's e-mail. If for some reason you decide to change to another ISP, or you simply move out of their territory, then updating your e-mail address everywhere is a major pain. And rednekcowboy is absolutely right regarding passwords.

DrugTito join:2013-01-17 canada	Yea, thats true, but, i also do not support their way of how e-mail works. Giving your password to support via e-mail or over the phone? No WAY

I'm not, and haven't been since about 1996. But I use the ISP email server for store-and-forward (more like, store-and-fetchmail) purposes. Cheers

balur join:2010-04-28 kudos:1	reply to mlord Reminder of my years working in ISP support... People leaving us for our competitors, freaking out because they couldn't take there email address with them, without paying a monthly or yearly fee. Actual customer quote: "Your holding my email address hostage, I'm going to report you to the CRTC" I really suggest against ever tying your address to a specific ISP.
