New Email Accounts have been established for each chapter of our Metropolis.
Your National and Metropolis Philoptochos correspondences will be sent to this address.
Below you will find easy to read instructions and a tracking log to get you started with your chapter’s new email account. Please read through this carefully and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
You may have noticed that we have two domain names that look very similar:
Each chapter is assigned an email address based on your chapter number.
Your email address and your username are the same.
Each email account has its own password. You may change your password at any time but we recommend that you keep the one assigned to the chapter. In the case that you forget your password, you can contact the WebManager to send you a new one.
Your chapter email account can be forwarded to your personal email account. It can also be forwarded to as many other people in your chapter as you want. You will need to contact the WebManager to set up the forward(s).
Instructions for opening your email account, changing your password and forwarding your email account are listed below.
NOTE: Support for these procedures will be handled by Presvytera Christine personally and we ask that you be patient at the beginning while we get everyone set up.
Go to www.email.1and1.com OR www.webmail.1and1.com
Both these addresses do the same thing and help regulate traffic on the server. If one is too slow you may try to log in on the other.
Type in the chapter Username and Password as it was given to you.
Your email account will open up and you will see your chapter name, city and state.
Use the row of icons at the top left corner to navigate your new WebMail from 1and1.com. For example, the envelope icon will take you to your main email screen with your Drafts, Inbox, Sent Items, etc. Click around the features of 1and1 Webmail such as the calendar, task page and configuration options just like you do at your current email server.
Click the “Configuration” icon – it looks like a green wheel, on the top left side of the start page.
Select “Extras”
Select “Password”
Type in your new password in the two boxes and click “OK”
Log Out and then Log In with your new password.
Be sure to write your new password down somewhere so you can find it.
Contact manager@atlmetphiloptochos.org or call 706-310-1304 for a new password.
Please give the following information:
When you forward your @atlmetphiloptochos.org email account you are re-routing it to whichever email addresses you specify as the target; for example, if you use @gmail.com then when you could check your gmail account you will see your forwarded Philoptochos messages there, along with your other emails. You can also forward your @atlmetphiloptochos.org email account to other officers’ addresses, the church office, your priest, etc. We recommend that you monitor the forwards from year to year and use the log provided wit h this letter.
Note that if choose to forward your messages, your outgoing replies will read that it is coming from your personal address and not the @atlmetphiloptochos.org address.
However, if you choose not to forward your email account and use the Webmail at www.webmail.1and1.com then your replies will all show that they are from your Philoptochos chapter email address.
VERY IMPORTANT ABOUT FORWARDING:
• You must contact WebManager Presvytera Christine with your request to forward your account or to cancel a forward.
• Keep a record of where your chapter’s email account is being forwarded to and the date the forward was requested.
• REQUESTS WILL BE PROCESSED AT THE END OF EACH MONTH.
• You will be notified when the changeover is complete.
• IN THE MEANTIME YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO GO TO www.webmail.1and1.com to view your messages.
• Click this link manager@atlmetphiloptochos.org and complete the form to email your request to Presvytera Christne
Your request should include the following information:

* You should continue to check your emails at www.webmail.1and1.com until you are notified that the forward is complete.
Remember that this email account belongs to the chapter and must be passed on to the new officers after elections. We recommend that you establish a binder with these instructions, and with the log of who is monitoring the chapter’s @atlmetphiloptochos.org account and of all forward requests.
WebManager will have records of your forwards but it will be your chapter’s responsibility to add new ones and cancel old ones as necessary.
We are including a log as an attachemtn below that will help you track this information from year to year and from administration to administration.
