Upper staff and staff who have a need for it will receive @snafucon.com email addresses. Many departments also have shared email addresses, which are handled through RT.

How To

Log In

Log in to your email here: mail.snafucon.com

Change Your Password

Contact an admin for assistance with changing your password. You will be sent to a URL where you can input a new password and the admin will then update your account without ever seeing your passwords. We take password security seriously.

Set Your Signature

  1. Log In
  2. Click "Settings" in the upper right hand corner of the screen
  3. Click "identities" In the left-most column
  4. Choose what identity you want to add a signature for
  5. Insert your signature into the "Signature" textbox on the right
  6. Click "Save"

Add More Identities

Identities allow you to send as department emails. If you are in the registration department you should set up a "Registration" Identity ad if you are in Rovers you should set up a "Rovers" identity, etc.

You can set up as many identities as you want but you must have permissions set to email out from a departmental email or it simply won't work. If you are unsure as to whether you have the necessary permissions, contact the admin.

  1. Log In
  2. Click "Settings" in the upper right hand corner of the screen
  3. Click "identities" In the left-most column
  4. Click the "+" at the bottom of the middle column
  5. Set your Name, email, and signature (at minimum).
  6. Click "Save"

For a departmental email, your name should be the department, your email should be the department email, and your signature should have the department in it.

For Example:

Display Name: SNAFU Con Registration
Email: [email protected]
Signature:
Beta
SNAFU Con Registration
Sierra Nevada Anime Fans Unite!
http://snafucon.com
[email protected]

Spam

All email boxes have a spam filter which you can access by logging in here:mail.snafucon.com/spam/ and using your snafu-mail username/password.

We recommend clearing it out regularly and checking there first if you think you're missing an email.

Standard Signature

(Closing statement such as Thank you, Best Regards, Sincerely, etc.)
(Your Name)
(Your title or department)
Sierra Nevada Anime Fans Unite!
