Creating the Email Archive Address: Site owners can create an easy-to-remember site email address. When you are setting up your site you will have the step to create a prefix for the email archive address. If you add the email archive later you will be able to enter the prefix to the @bspace.berkeley.edu address in the same way. It is recommended that you included the semester and year in the address (hist1aF07 for example).

In order to send email to the Email Archive tool, you must:

  • Have the correct level of permissions in the site, and in particular the right permission for the email archive tool. Instructors can send an email archive message by default.
  • Send email from the address listed in the Email Archive tool (i.e. Where it says "You are authorized to send email from:"). You can change this address in the Berkeley directory. To change the email address that you have listed in bSpace, visit the campus directory and select "Directory Update" from the left side of the screen. Any changes you make to the Berkeley directory are updated in bSpace the next morning.
