How to Change Your Preferences

There are a few advanced Listserver preferences that you are able to change using Affinity, the SENTOA Listserver management software. Most subscribers do not need to change their preferences. If you want to receive the Summary Digest version of the SENTOA posts or suspend receiving posts temporarily, you will need to set those preferences in Affinity. (The Summary Digest version will bundle multiple posts before sending you an email rather than sending you an email for every individual post.)

1.  Go to the following link:

https://lists.sentoa.org/list/sentoa.lists.sentoa.org

In the upper right-hand corner of the Affinity window click on "Hi, Guest". The first time you access Affinity you have to sign up for an account. Click "Click here to sign up for a new account". Enter the information requested in the window and click the "Sign Up" button. Affinity will send you an email with instructions on how to verify your new account. In the future you can "Sign In" using your email address and password.

2. After you sign in, the Affinity Dashboard is displayed. Click the vertical three dots to the right of the green "member" box (right-hand side, middle of screen).

3. Choose "Change preferences" from the drop down menu and the Preferences window will be displayed.

4. You can change the following preferences: Delivery Status, Delivery Mode, Receive own postings, Acknowledge posts, Hide address, and Receive list copies. Descriptions of the options are included. If you want to select the Digest option, select "Summary Digest" from the Delivery Mode drop-down menu.

5. If you want to temporarily suspend receiving SENTOA posts select "Disabled" from the Delivery Status drop-down menu. (Be sure to "Enable" your Delivery Status when you are ready to begin receiving posts again.)
