Creating Email Accounts and Email Lists

To create email accounts and email lists, you will need access to the MF/PL control panel. If you do not have the login and password, you will not be able to create these accounts.

Creating an Individual Email Account

Creating an individual email is a two step process:

0. Creating a user account

Once you're logged into the control panel you should see something like:

Top >> Occupy Boston >> Mail hosting order for occupy boston.

Click on "User Account"

Click on "add new item"

Fill out the form, with a First, Last, username, and password.

You can either create a random password or enter a custom password here. Note: This password will be used for logging into the email account. Make sure you give a copy to the account owner. And instruct them to change their password by logging in at https://members.mayfirst.org/cp

Skip the fields after password, and click "Submit"

Now that you have a user, you can create the email account.

Click on "Email Address" from the tabs.

Click on "Add a new item"

Type in an email address name, i.e. "obit"

Choose @ occupyboston.org as the domain extension.

Select the username you created from the last section.
