Email the society at info@gsyork.co.uk

YUSU Mail is now the primary account for access by committee members

Through http://mail.yusu.org/

See help for instructions on setting up an email client if you wish

If you want to, it is possible to forward a copy of all society mail to your own account.
To do this:

• Log in to the YUSU webmail, then open the Settings -> Filters page.
• Create a new filter to select the email you want. If you want all emails, you can type some random nonsense into the 'Doesn't have' field. e.g. hkdhadadkad8asjasdbasd
• On the 'next step' page, type your email address into the 'forward it to' box.
• Click on 'Create Filter'

You can also use the IMAP interface to the gmail email system, which allows you to access the email from a client such as Thunderbird or Outlook. The instructions for this are in the Google help pages.

The old socs46 email account can still be accessed by committee members

• through webmail at https://webmail.york.ac.uk/
• using a mail client (eg. Thunderbird, Outlook)

Thunderbird settings:

• Name: York University Gilbert and Sullivan Society
• Email Address: ku.ca.kroy|64scos#ku.ca.kroy|64scos
• POP3/IMAP: IMAP
• IMAP (incoming) server: socs46.imap.york.ac.uk
• SMTP (outgoing) server: smtp.york.ac.uk
• default the rest (just press enter)

Then in Tools>Account Settings click on ku.ca.kroy|64scos#ku.ca.kroy|64scos in the list on the left and change the following:

• reply-to address: ku.oc.kroysg|ofni#ku.oc.kroysg|ofni

and in Server Settings (just beneath ku.ca.kroy|64scos#ku.ca.kroy|64scos):

• Use secure connection: TLS
• Do NOT tick Use secure Authentication
• Tick Check for new messages at startup
• Tick Check for new messages every (choose how many) minutes
• Tick Clean up ("Expunge") Inbox on Exit
• Tick Empty Deleted folder on Exit
• Click on Advanced (to the right)
• IMAP server directory (note the slash at the end here): Boxes/
• OK

That's all for reading emails - sending is just a little more. Click on Outgoing Server (SMTP) at the bottom of the list on the left

• Add…
• Description: (give it a sensible name like G&S)
• Server Name: smtp.york.ac.uk
• User Name: socs46 (use your own user name if you want to send from yourself instead of from the society)
• Use Secure Connection: SSL[[/footnote]]

It seems that people have been using many different methods and so we have five sent folders (crazy!).
