If you wish to change your payment day we can easily do that for you by simply emailing us at support@xplore.ca. If you are on a prepaid plan, your account will be transitioned to monthly billing once your prepaid amount is used up.

Will the charges for activities such as moving my service remain the same?

Once we have transitioned your services over to the Xplore systems, the Xplore service fees and policies for items will be in effect.

If you have an @i-zoom.net email address provided by Cable Cable, we will be making a change to your email service. Effective Tuesday, September 18, 2018 at 11:00 PM EST, the access to your @i-zoom.net email account(s) will be ending.

But don’t worry! We have a process in place for the transfer of your current email service to Xplore’s email service. This process will ensure you are able continue to send and receive email messages with no interruptions, and you won’t lose any stored messages. In addition, after your email service has been moved to Xplore on September 18, 2018, Cable Cable Inc. will forward any content received on your @i-zoom.net email account to your new Xplore email address for 1 year.

Our Xplore Customer Care team will be available to support you during this period to ensure the transition is a simple and seamless process.

Why we’re making this change.

Cable Cable owns the @i-zoom.net email domain and server, and they will retain it for their own use after September 18, 2018. As a result we will be transitioning you to Xplore’s email domain and server.

How do I access my Cable Cable email?

You can continue to access your @i-zoom.net email address through the Cable Cable webmail login page until it is transitioned to Xplore on September 18, 2018.

What does this mean for you?

• You may continue using your existing @i-zoom.net email address as normal until 11:00 PM EST on September 18, 2018. There is no action required on your part at this time.
• We have reserved an Xplore email address for you. You will be able to use your existing email password for your new Xplore email account.
• The Xplore email address that we have sent you can be given out now if you choose. Any emails received on your Xplore email account will automatically be forwarded to your existing @i-zoom.net email address until this service is moved to Xplore on September 18, 2018.
• Any messages that are currently stored in your @i-zoom.net mailbox as of September 18, 2018 as well as your webmail contacts, will automatically be moved to your new Xplore mailbox.
• After your email service has been moved to Xplore on September 18, 2018, Cable Cable Inc. will forward any content received on your @i-zoom.net email account to your new Xplore email address for 1 year.
• After one year (around September 18, 2019), your @i-zoom.net email address will no longer be in service. Emails sent to the @i-zoom.net address will no longer be forwarded to your Xplore email address.

Xplore’s email service will provide you with many great features, including:

• A larger mailbox: enjoy more flexibility with 10GB of storage
• A new Webmail interface, which includes features like:

• • Contacts and calendar that can be synched to a mobile device

What will happen on the day of the email service transition?

• Freeze Period: Any changes you make to your webmail data and settings (specifically your address book contacts, forwarding settings, signature and vacation notification autoreply) on September 17^th and 18^th will not be moved to your new Xplore account. We recommend making any updates to this data and these settings prior to September 17^th.
• Maintenance Window: Between 11pm ET on September 18^th and 7am ET on September 19^th, your old email service availability will end, and your new email service may be unavailable while we complete the transition.

After 7am ET on September 19^th, you will be able to log in and view any emails that were delivered during the maintenance window. Previously viewed messages and other saved emails or folders will not be lost; however, they may take up to 72 hours to appear in your new mailbox. You will be able to use the new webmail interface to make changes to your webmail data and settings. This new webmail login page is here. Please continue to check your email

Will my email address change?

Yes. Your existing @i-zoom.net email address will be replaced with a new Xplore email address on September 18, 2018. Your new Xplore email address was sent to you at your current @i-zoom.net email address. If you did not receive your Xplore email address, please email us at support@xplore.ca or call us at 1-866-841-6001.

What email addresses are impacted?

Your email address(es) that end in @i-zoom.net are impacted by this transition.

Will I need to change my email password or will I receive a new one?

No, your email password will not change. You can continue to use your current @i-zoom.net email password with your new Xplore email address after the transition. If you need it reset, please contact us.

Will I need to do anything prior to or after the upgrade?

Yes.

If you use webmail in a browser, you will need to use the Xplore webmail interface and link for your new email address after September 18^th. You will be able to access your webmail here, and learn more about the new webmail interface here.

If you use a third party email program or app on your computer, tablet or phone , such as Outlook, Thunderbird or the default Mail app, then you will need to setup your new Xplore email address using IMAP (POP is not recommended) after September 18^th 2018. Email set-up guides for many popular email clients can be found here, as well as a link to the server settings if your email client is not listed there. You will then use this new Xplore email address for sending and receiving, as you will no longer have access to your @i-zoom.net email account at that point.

You will also want to check to ensure that all your desired messages were moved to your new Xplore account. Some messages may be stored in your email client only (especially if it connects to your @i-zoom.net mailbox using POP) and weren’t on the Cable Cable email server for us to copy over. If you find messages in your email client for your @i-zoom.net account that aren’t in your new Xplore account, and you wish to keep them in your Xplore account, here’s what you can do:

• Add your new Xplore email address in your email client or app. Email set-up guides can be found here for many popular clients, as well as a link to the server settings if your client is not listed there.
• Copy or move any missed messages and/or folders that you wish to keep from your @i-zoom.net account to your new Xplore account. Here are instructions to do this for some popular email clients:
  • Mac Mail for OS X
  • Microsoft Outlook 2010/2013/2016 for Windows
  • Microsoft Outlook 2016 for Mac
  • Thunderbird 52 (for both Windows and Mac)

Will I be able to log into webmail the same way I do today?

No, there will be a new webmail interface and link. You will be able to access your webmail here, and learn more about the new webmail interface here. Please continue to check your Cable Cable mail as normal here up until September 18, 2018.

Will I lose any of the information from my webmail?

The following features and webmail items will be saved and transferred to your new Xplore email account:

• Mailbox content (messages and folders)
• Webmail Address book contacts
• Webmail Signature
• Mail Forwarding Address and settings
• Vacation notification autoreply message and setting (on or off)

POP3: Why are all my old email messages loading in again?

After September 18^th 2018, if you are seeing some or all of your old email messages that you had previously deleted loading in again, it is because they were present on the Cable Cable email/webmail server. It is possible that your email client connected via POP and was set to leave a copy on the server. We recommend allowing time for these emails to load, or alternatively, you can close out of your third party email program and log into your new webmail service to delete the emails there first. Once deleted from the webmail server, they should not load into your third party device any longer.

I am paying for additional email addresses. Will there be a change in the cost?

No, there will be no change to the cost of additional email addresses.
