If you are a member of a forum, you may edit your settings via email commands, or through the discussion forum interface.
1. In the left Navigation bar, click My Account. ListManager will prompt you to log in if you haven't already.
2. The My Account page shows your settings on two separate tabs: Essentials and Advanced. You may edit your settings here.
3. Click Save. This saves the changes made to your account. Click on Cancel to abort any changes you've made. Click on Log Out to log out of the discussion forum interface. You will be prompted to log in again as a different user.
Essentials
Your Email Address
The email address you've logged in with. To change it, edit it here and click Save Changes.
Your Name
The name (if any) associated with your membership record. To change it, edit it here and click Save Changes.
Membership Type
How you receive messages from the mailing list.
The choices are:
You receive copies of messages posted to the forum immediately.
Digest
Each night, around 12:00 am, you will receive a single email message containing all the messages contributed to the forum that day. At the top of the message will be a numbered list of the subjects in that digest, followed by the complete messages themselves. Digest recipients will not receive messages sent to segments.
MIME Digest
The same asa digest, but in MIME format so that individual message formatting is preserved. Some email clients such as Outlook will show the digest as a series of attachments. Digest recipients will not receive messages sent to segments.
Index
Each night, around 1 in the morning, you will receive a single email message containing all the subject lines of all the messages contributed to the forum that day. If any of the messages interest you, the bottom of the index gives the email command that will retrieve the bodies of the messages. Or, you can access the discussion forum interface directly.
Nomail
No email is sent to you. You are free to go the web interface whenever you want, and read the full text of the messages there. This setting is also useful for people who want the ability to contribute to a mailing list, but do not care to see the contributions to the forum.
Advanced
New/Verify Password
Your password. If specified, you must use this password to log into the discussion forum interface. For your security, your password is shown as asterisks here. Depending on your settings, having a password may or may not be optional. Note that if you change your password, you will need to log into the discussion forum interface again with your new password.
To change the password, it must be entered twice to verify it has been entered correctly.
If the address has multiple accounts on the server, there will be an option to change the password for all administrators that have this email address and who used the previous password.
There will also be an option to send the specified email address a link to change the password.
Apply Changes
By default, changes you make to your account apply to all of your subscriptions on the server. If you change your email address, for example, it will be changed for all forums. By selecting "No", the changes you are making will apply only to the list you are currently logged into (shown in the upper right corner of the screen). You may also have an email sent that contains a link which will allow you to change the password for all of your forums.
