GROUPS

exported from the old Group.

- Use the Export feature to transfer the member data to a file
- Create a new Group - with the new name
- Click on the new Group
- Use the import button to import the saved member data
- Check if all is OK
- Delete the old Group
EMAIL
I do not get an eMail-copy when sending an eMail.
Some, eMail systems (like GMail, Google IMAP) do not submit an eMail which you have sent to yourselves to
your [Inbox].
You can only see this message in [Sent] box, that's all.
With other programs like Outlook (POP) and Mac Mail (POP, iCloud, IMAP) you do receive a copy of the
message.
Can you sent attachments?
Yes. But you have to use your own eMail program (Outlook, Hotmail, Mac Mail, ...) and not our website.
All attachments are possible, no (real) limit. But we do monitor.
REPLY
Reply eMails go to everyone !
You can change the setting "Send replies to:" in the MEMBERS page to either {Group} or {Sender}.
The default value is {Group}.
How will my eMail programme handle the Replys ?
With "Send replies to:" at {Group} your eMail programme will:
[REPLY]-button > send an eMail to the Group.
[REPLY to ALL] > send an eMail to the Group.
With "Send replies to:" at {Sender} your eMail programme will:
[REPLY]-button > send an eMail to the Sender.
[REPLY to ALL] > send an eMail to the Sender.
ADMIN AND EDITORS
What are the different user and member rights?
You can assign a status to each member of a Group. Everyone can create an own eMailDodo account and see
him/herselves in the Group via the web or mobile app.
-
A MEMBER can only see the Members. In the Group view, Members with an eMailDodo logo already have an
eMailDodo account. You can not change their details.
-
An EDITOR can only change, add and delete Members. To be able to see and edit the members groups
each Editor should have, or create, an own eMailDodo account.
-
The ADMIN remains the boss. This person can appoint Editors & Members and change, add and delete
them or the whole group.
How can you change the admin of a group?
If you would like the transfer the group to a different admin you have two options.
-
A. Export Members. Check Export. Delete group. [New admin:] Create Group with same name. Import
Members.
-
B. If you are not to sure about this:
Sent us an eMail from the admin account and let us know which group you would like to switch to
which admin eMail.
The new admin should have an account with eMailDodo. Then we will do the switch for you.
IMPORT/EXPORT
How can you change the admin of a group?
- Click on your Group
-
Click button IMPORT or EXPORT
Importing an Excel sheet does not work.
Check the following:
- Are you logged in as admin ?
- Is your list not bigger than the #members allowed in your group ?
- Are the columns in right order ?
- Did you use the right file format ? (see example file)
If this does not help, let the
HelpDesk know.
