Quick question for the techy types. I do our volunteer rota but am not very tech savvy. Currently I send the volunteer email appeal from fms, people reply directly to it and the emails appear in the parkrun webmail inbox. With the email migration, and the webmail box closing tomorrow, will the process seamlessly move to the gmail inbox or do I need to do something to make it happen? We're always short of volunteers and I'd hate to miss any offers of help!

My understanding of the message we received is a hope that the transition will be seamless (assuming you've set up the mailbox so you can use it - don't ask me for help on that score, I've not tried yet). I currently suspect a nationwide holding of bated breath.

I'm in a similar position, volunteer co-ordinating and hoping it all just works!

I’m RD at Juniors this week and we have to move to s totally new untested course whilst the path round the lake is shut, what could possibly go wrong?

I'm RD next week, too.
Beware - when you send on the message with the password, it makes it all caps, which doesn't work, so you need to store the password somewhere today (with the mixture of upper and lower case letters) otherwise you won't be able to access the mailbox tomorrow.

Thank you Linds!!!!
Finally managed to get into new email. Wasted so much time due to that upper case conversion.

I know! What a weird thing. One of the other RDs worked it out.

How bizarre! That might be why our ED said he couldn't get into the Google account initially.
