Tech Tips: Why do I not receive a copy of email I send to groups?

by FWP Tech

This question has been asked a number of times since the move to our new email system. With this system, you will not receive a message you send to a group that you are a part of.

For example, if you send a message to fwp-announcements@fwparker.org you will not receive a copy of the message in your Inbox even though you are a member of the group as well. If you want to continue to receive the message as a way to verify that it was sent, simply add your email address to the to:, cc: or bcc: fields. This will guarantee the message will be sent to you as well.

Tech Tips: Explore Gmail Labs

by FWP Tech

Interested in customizing the look and feel of your new email? Look no further than Gmail Labs. Labs are a set of experimental new features, and you can enable or disable each one. Some of the popular ones will become a part of the core email system, while the ones that do not get much use will simply fade away.

To access, click on "Settings" in the upper right, then select the "Labs" tab. You will be present with a long list that you can simply "enable" if you are interested. If at a later date you would like to turn them off, simply click "disable".

Some of the Labs that I have enabled:

Right-side chat
Nav bar drag and drop
Forgotten attachment detector
Custom Label colors
Inbox preview
Text Messaging (SMS) in chat
Undo send
Title tweaks
Don't forget Bob
Search autocomplete
Google calendar gadget

Tech Tips: Email "Conversations"

by FWP Tech

With the switch to the new Gmail-based email system almost complete the most asked questions seem to deal with "conversations". In Gmail, replies to replies (and replies to those replies) are displayed in one place, in order, making it easier to understand the context of a message -- or to follow the conversation.

For those who were interested in learning more about how to handle "conversations", check out the following links:
