ICWP Connect Listserv Help

NOTICE: THE ICWP DISCUSSION LIST MOVED on 23rd April to a new List hosting account.

This page is to help members of the previous Listserv (ICWP-L) and new members use our new Listserv host.  To avoid confusion with the old Listserv (ICWP-L), the new Listserv is called Connect.  To send messages to the new Listserv, please send your email to: connect@lists.womenplaywrights.org.

As we are unable to transfer our settings of how our members receive their Listserv mail, EVERY MEMBER needs to sign up for an account and personally choose their settings.  Do not worry, this process is painless and shouldn't take any longer than 10 minutes.

The instructions below will help you sign up on the Listserv website, reset your temporary password, choose how you receive Listserv mail or unsubscribe.  Pictures are included to help you navigate through this process.

STEP ONE - sign up on the Listserv website

1) Please go to the Listserv website: http://lists.womenplaywrights.org. 

2) On the right side of the webpage is a login box.  Click request password. 

3) In the space to the right, you will be prompted to give your email address and will be sent a temporary password.  Please see the picture below to use as a guide.

NOTE: the email address you enter MUST MATCH the email address we have on file for you when you signed up as an ICWP Member.  If you already were a member of the old Listerv your email address must match the email address you used for the old Listserv.

STEP TWO - changing your password

1) After you receive an email with your temporary password, write down/copy the temporary password and log into the Listserv website: http://lists.womenplaywrights.org.

2) After you are logged in, click preferences.

3) In the space to the right, you will see options to change your email address, and password.  Choose a new password and enter it twice and click submit.  Please use the picture below to use as a guide.

STEP THREE - choose your preference for receiving mail from the Listserv

1) After you are done changing your password, click Home at the top of the page.

2) The Listserv groups you are signed up for appear in the column to the left.  Choose connect.  Please use the picture below to use as a guide.



3) In the left column you will see the menu for the Connect Listserv.  Click on Subscriber Options.

4) In the space to the right, you will see a drop down menu with options to receive your Listserv mail.  Please use the picture below to use as a guide.


5) In the drop down menu you will see many options to receive mail from the Listserv.  The most pertinent ones are: standard, no mail, you do not receive your own posts, and digest plain text format.  Since the old Listserv is closed down, we do not know what your previous settings were.  If you do not know what these settings mean, you can click help and a pop-up window will explain what these settings mean.  Please use the picture below to use as a guide.
