Subscriptions. HP/HPE Alumni

...to receive a single daily digest email for a group, change your email address, add a group, or unsubscribe from a group.

BTW, you can set up your email system to automatically sort your incoming mail into folders. This is the most efficient way to use any distribution list or newsletter subscription -- not just HPAlumni emails -- and can be used to manage incoming mail related to certain subjects or people. With pre-sorted mail, you can efficiently deal with similar messages together. We have directions for Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and AOL Mail: Automatically sort email

If you have fallen off the HPAA email lists, just send a new application to join from your current email address.

No special login is required to access the HPAA forums, which run on the Google Groups system. You read, comment, and post questions using your email. (You can use your browser to view a thread or search past discussions: hpalumni.org/view )

Each HPAA group has a separate subscription list. The subject line of each email gives the name of the group -- i.e. [HPAA Benefits]. The groups are moderated by HPAA volunteers.

Your email settings can be different for each HPAA group. Your options are:

- "Each email" (You are sent an email for each post.) This is the default when you join the HPAA.

- "Digest" (You are sent a single email for each group if there are any posts that day. Includes full copies of that day's posts.) You know what is being discussed in your groups, but get few emails. However, if you reply to a digest, please remember to change the Subject line to match your post --and trim off the old content of the digest before you send your reply.

[For some reason, Google still also offers an "Abridged" option, which currently sends no emails at all.]

Please send a single note to the HPAA volunteer team at subs@hpalumni.org with these details:

1. Specify what you want done with your membership for which groups -- digest, each email, or to be unsubscribed from that group:

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, not your name, to identify you in our system.)

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

Thanks!
