Member Splash Premium clients have the option of using the Member Splash email servers with both email accounts and forwarders. If your club is using this feature you can read how to manage the accounts here: Managing Email Accounts & Forwarders (Aliases)

There is a built in webmail client that lets you read and compose email messages via your browser but you'll most likely want to set up your computer and/or devices to fetch email. That's covered in the second section of this article. Another option is to add the address(es) to your existing Gmail, Yahoo! or other email account.

If you opt for that configuration your club emails will get automatically pulled into your existing email account so you only need to check one place. You can opt to have them go to a specific folder and/or given a tag so that it's easy to keep your personal and club email separate. You can also set up signatures and reply-to addresses so that you can send using the club email address.

If your club is using Member Splash provided email accounts you can access webmail at https://webmail.domain.extension. Ex: If your website address is https://sunndayswim.com then you would access webmail at https://webmail.sunnydayswim.com.

You will be prompted to enter your email address and password.

Once you log in you'll see instructions for setting up the email account on your devices as well as an option to open roundcube, the webmail client. If you click the box highlighted below it will automatically load your inbox, bypassing the settings screen (you can always access the settings from your inbox).

Most users will opt to add their club email account to whatever email program they are using on their computer and devices. If you log into webmail per the instructions above you can access a variety of one-click set up scripts that will connect your account to a variety of different devices automatically. You'll find these by scrolling down to Configuration Settings.

If you don't see your device listed or if you're having trouble with a script you can also simply enter the settings manually. In the screenshot below there are two options for Incoming Server: IMAP and POP. POP is the original method for delivering email messages. It involves transferring or copying an email message file from one computer (the email server) to another (or your device). It does not allow for synchronizing the status of messages between devices.

IMAP uses the email server as a central place to track each message. If you open an email on your laptop then it will show as read on your phone or tablet. If you delete one on your phone, it will be gone from your other devices.

One of the easiest ways to use your club email is to simply set up an existing email account with one of the popular providers to fetch your messages. For example, suppose your personal email address is [email protected]. You can go into Gmail's settings and add the POP mail settings for your club email. Gmail will then check the club email server periodically for new messages and pull them into your inbox. You can set rules to automatically add a tag so that they are clearly identifiable.
