We are planning a very subtle change to how verification works in GroupServer.
Instead of verifying users, we will verify addresses. For adding a single email
address, this has little effect, but makes a big change when we register users!
(More on registration soon.)
Adding an Email Address
To send messages to a group, from a particular email address — and
receive messages at a particular email address — the email address
must be added to your profile. To add an address to your profile,
carry out the following steps.
1. Click Add an Email Address, on your profile page. The Add an
Address page will be shown.
2. Enter your new email address in the Email Address entry.
3. Click Verify Address. You will be sent an Email Address
Verification message, to ensure that you control the address you
entered.
4. Carry out one of the two options below, when you receive the Email
Address Verification message.
* Click on the link in the Email Address Verification message. The
Address Verification page will be shown. Click on the Verify
button to verify your address.
* Reply to the message, making no alterations to the message —
other than those automatically carried out by your email client.
You will receive an email message, confirming the verified
address.
Note: Administrator Adding an Email Address
Some administrators can add an email address to your profile. If
this occurs you will receive an email message that will allow
you to carry out one of the two tasks in Step 4 above. In
addition, you will receive an email message on *all* your other
addresses informing you that an administrator has added a new
address to your profile.
Like setting passwords, administrators are able to carry out most of the task
of setting up email addresses for their users. Now we have covered setting
email addresses, and passwords
