According to the publically posted whois record for the domain, the man you want always was and still is Pete DeGroot:

Call 'im up. Give 'im hell.

And I note with no small amount of sarcasm that Pete does not post a Canada.com email address, plus will wager the canwest.com box is nothing like the webmail junk they'd foisted on their loyal fans.

I use this same service with dissatisfaction. I just want the domain name to forward onto my real email account. Now it seems SFU.ca (a Vancouver university) and canada.com are not communicating. I want to contact canada.com but where is their phone number?

Oh Canada.com, how do I loath you, let me count the ways ... an 'upgrade' they called it, a whole bold new dimension in webmail they said, or somesuch superlatives. And the old email true as sin that interface was clunky, like an old pickup truck, but it got you where you wanted to go. This new one? This new 'webmail' interface is just sad, a national embarrassment that it should be named after our country (in the USA, defacing national honour like this is probably illegal).

"WebMail allows you to read and process your email from a web browser running on any computer (sic) that has access to the Internet or your intranet. It is a full-featured email application that lets you receive email, send and forward email, send and view attachments, use folders to organize your email, etc."

Ok, alright, so how bad can it be? I have 750+ spams in there already, and the only way to delete is 30 at a crack, or so the story goes. They do have a javascript Select All now, but this one limits to the current shortlist, and when you click the 'Delete' it says, Error: Over quota, cannot move to trash. Please empty your trashcan or use the button below to delete without using the trashcan which I do, and it then says Error, cannot delete. Trashcan full. so I empty the trash but, you guessed it Error .... Ok, one stroke against it ...
