How to change your HPAA email settings. You can receive a single daily email or participate with a browser instead of via email. 

Every year, Annual Enrollment is a very busy time for the HPAA Benefits Forum.

Before we combine and release more comments, thought it would be good to explain how to change your HPAA email settings to daily digest or browser access...

The Google Groups system is very flexible.

No special login is required to use HPAA forums -- you read, comment, and post new questions via email. The default mode for new members.

However, if your Google Groups membership is be linked to a Google Account, you can access a forum with your browser. (Works with most non-Gmail addresses.) https://www.hpalumni.org/view 

The Benefits, Finance, and TechTalk forums have separate subscription lists. The subject line includes the name of the forum. The forums are moderated by HPAA volunteers.

There are four setting choices for each forum:

- "Each email" An immediate email for each post after it is released by the moderator. Read, post and comment via email. Default.

- "Digest" A single daily email for each forum -- with full copies of the day's posts. Read, post and comment via email.

- "Abridged" The first two lines with a link to the post. Use your browser.

- "No email" If your Google Groups membership is be linked to a Google Account, you can use your browser.

There are three ways to use the HPAA forums:

A. If your Google Groups membership is linked to a Google Account, you can change your setting with your browser.

or B. Send a note to the HPAA volunteer team at hpalumniassn.membership@gmail.com with these details:

1. Specify what you want done for which groups -- no email, each email, digest, or abridged.

- Benefits Forum. [HPAA Benefits] Topics such as COBRA and retiree health benefits, annual enrollment, and transition to Medicare.

- Finance Forum. [HPAA Finance] Employee stock, 401(k), pensions, and other financial issues from an ex-HP/HPE perspective.

- TechTalk Forum. [HPAA TechTalk] Members work together on personal technology questions.

2. If a change of address, specify any former or forwarded email addresses you may have used for your HPAA membership. (We use your email address to identify you.)

Our volunteer team will process your request – typically within three days -- and send you an email.

or C. Automatically sort your incoming HPAA forum mail into a separate folder -- by setting up a filter for "[HPAA" in the subject line. Directions for Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, and Apple: https://www.hpalumni.org/sort
