The Email Addresses tab (example shown below) lists all the regular email address (both forwarders and mailboxes). Regular email addresses are almost always associated with Making Music Platform Positions (president, treasurer, music director, etc).
TIP: for more information, see our Positions help guide.
The Status column shows the relationship between the actual email address on the server and what Making Music Platform thinks should be on the server. The Status column can show any of the following:
- Mail held for collection in server mailbox - the mail sent to this email address does not currently get forwarded to any specific member or members. Instead, the member who holds the position needs to configure their email programme (Microsoft Outlook, Mac Mail, etc) to collect any waiting emails from the server. If Making Music Platform recognises this email address, then the member who has been nominated to collect these emails is listed as well. There's also a link that, when clicked on, shows the configuration details that need to be put into the member's email programme in order for that email programme to send/receive emails with this email address.
- No members in position - As there are no members that currently hold the position that corresponds to this email address, no forwarder exists (meaning that emails are not currently forwarded to anyone's personal email address).
- Correctly forwards to - This email address is a forwarder to a member's personal email address, and the forwarder that is present on the server correctly corresponds to what Making Music Platform believes it should be.
- Needs to forward to - Making Music Platform believes this email address should forward to the personal email address of a member (shown), but the forwarder does not exist on the server.
- Unnecessary forward to - The email address exists on the server as a forwarder to the email address shown, but Making Music Platform has no knowledge of this forwarder.
