Verify your Email Address

Click on Send Verification to verify that you are the owner of the departmental group email address.

An email confirmation code will be sent via email to the owner.  The owner must enter the email code to verify ownership.  Once the owner verifies the code, they are directed back to the Account Settings area. 

 

Receiving an Email Message

A new area appears under Add another email address.  Click on Reply from the same address the message was set to, so the emails sent come from the group email address.

When composing new mail messages you will now have a variety (dependent upon how many group email addresses you have) of FROM: options.

To choose the correct FROM: email address, click on the drop-down FROM: menu, and choose the correct email address.

This will be the email address that the current message you are composing will be from, so those that reply will respond to the same email address.

NOTE: From your General Tab under Mail Settings  - update your group signature to coincide with your replies to the group!
