My Inbox Is Clogged

 
 

Q. I am getting so much email from the Community Network! I want to read the messages, but my inbox is clogged!


A. You can set any Affinity Group to be readable only in its email archive by clicking Email Settings next to your image at the top right of every Affinity Group page. From there you will see a listing of all Affinity Groups you are participating in, and you can change your delivery options for any or all of them. Choose no emails; read on web only to stop delivery. This is also how you go "nomail" or "postpone' on a Affinity Group list. (See also How Do You Go Nomail Or Postpone Email Delivery On A NTEN Community Affinity Group?)


Another option for handling your Affinity Group email is to set up your mail program to automatically filter and sort your incoming messages into folders. For example, if you belong to several different Affinity Groups, you could set up your email program to sort each Affinity Group's messages into its own folder. This way, your inbox stays manageable and you can read each Affinity Group's mail at your leisure. Of course, each email program has a different method for doing this (Eudora uses "filters", Outlook and Outlook Express use "rules", etc.), but here are some sample tutorials (note that these links take you outside the Community Network environment).
