Q: Is my e-mail private or will someone be able to read it at the organization?
A: Our e-mail servers are hosted by an internet service provider. We do not
receive copies of any of your mail and remains in our system only a brief moment while it
is being relayed on to your existing mail account. It's as private as your current
account provides.
Q: Do I lose my old e-mail account and will I have to tell people about my new
address?
A: No, you do not have to give up your old address. In fact, both addresses
will still work. We simply forward mail received at tenneyfamily.org to your current
mail account so it's up to you which e-mail address you give to people.
Q: Will my e-mail appear as though it is coming from my new tenneyfamily.org
address?
A: Yes if you update your e-mail software to show your new
address. Some internet providers don't allow this however. AOL
is an example of this. AOL users can not change the
address of where their e-mail appears to originate. Same holds true for most free
e-mail accounts like Juno, Hotmail and others. If you have a regular internet
service provider and you use a mail client like Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape or
Eudora you can change the reply address in your e-mail client. Check your set up for
where the reply address is listed.
Q: I use AOL or one of the free e-mail clients. Can I get a full POP3
account allowing me to send and receive mail from tenneyfamily.org?
A: Currently no. However, if you are interested in this service please let us know. If there is a lot of
interest here it may be something we will offer. This service would require an
annual fee currently and are not sure if there is any interest at this time.
Q: My spouse and I would like to have our own e-mail address.
Is this possible?
A: Yes! You can have as many names as you want. They can be sent to the
same e-mail account at your current internet service provider or to different addresses. If you would like more than one e-mail address
then fill out the form once for each desired address (with
alternates). Include a note asking about discounts for multiple addresses.
To get multiple addresses you may be required to upgrade your association
fees to a family membership.
Q: I have other questions related to this service. How can I get them
answered?
A: Simple! Click on this hyperlink and send a message to our webmaster.
Q: How do I test to see if my new e-mail address is
working?
A: We have set up an autoresponder at test@tenneyfamily.org.
You can send a message to this address and within moments you will get a
message back if your e-mail is working properly. The To: field in the
message shows what others see as your e-mail address.
