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.)

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:
