Some Tips Re: Club Email System

I hope you have all seen Kyle's post that the ClubMail system is now available and all members are entitled to a free account.

I have set up my account and thought I might share some tips.

The email system is a web based system, so you use it like you would hotmail or yahoo mail, by going to a website and signing in. If you like this system you can use it read and send email (you can not send attachments)

Some of us don't care for this we prefer our POP3 mail which we read with Netscape Messenger, or Outlook Express, Eudora, or Pegasus mail.

There is a simple solution, simply set your ClubMail account to forward to your existing POP3 email address, or if you prefer create a new POP3 account specifically to receive these forwarded messages (most online services let have several email addresses).

But you ask what about sending out email, I want it to look like it is coming from my ClubMail address, not my old @isp.com address. Well fortunately there is a simple solution. All of the email clients I have mentioned (IE, messenger,Eudora,Pegasus) have a menu which allows you edit an accounts properties. Simply change the the reply to: and email address: properties of the account to list your new @ccgtcc.org address . . . DO NOT CHANGE THE SERVERS, the account name or the password . . . Your client will still access the same servers you always used, but the headers will show the @ccgtcc.org address (hidden headers may also show the true address but that will only be appent to those who are looking for it. THIS SYSTEM WILL ALLOW YOU TO SEND ATTACHMENTS.

If you need any help please feel free to email me at my new email address ps4182@ccgtcc.org and be sure to tell me what program you use for email.
