Using your Guild email addresses

Using your Guild email addresses

<p>Information on <a href="/members/emailaliases.html" target="_blank">using your Guild email alias</a> can be found in the Members' Room and in the Members' Handbook. If you have any questions about using your Guild alias please contact the <a href="/sendemail/?sendto=data-manager">Email System Manager</a>.</p> <p>In addition to the detailed notes in the above resources, members have noted the following tips:</p> <h3>Redirecting different Guild addresses to separate email accounts</h3> <p>The Guild offers members the opportunity to adopt two email addresses. The first is your registered surname and the second is your personal name. Using Chris Pomery's own addresses as an example, the address associated with his registered study is &lt;pomeroy@one-name.org&gt; while his personal address is &lt;chris.pomery@one-name.org&gt;.</p> <p>Some members might find it useful to use these two addresses in different ways. For example, to use the registered name address to communicate with researchers involved in the study while reserving the personal address for another purpose such as one's own research. One reason for making this split is that, should you wish to pass on your study to someone else, they can inherit the registered surname address whilst you keep your personal one.</p> <p>At present, the Guild does not offer to re-direct email traffic to different ISPs. However, there are workarounds to achieve the same end. If you use an email program such as Outlook you can set up a "rule" to have the alias e-mails automatically forwarded to other e-mail addresses. Alternatively, if you use a standard ISP and download incoming emails to your PC, you can set up a Gmail account and use the filters in Gmail to redirect email traffic from each Guild address to different ISPs or accounts. If you already access your email traffic in 'the cloud' with accounts at Gmail, Hotmail and the like, you can similarly set up an automatic filter to re-deliver incoming email traffic to two different accounts.</p>
