Introduction to the Morningside Meeting online email system

Morningside Meeting maintains its email and postal address lists in an online database accessed from the meeting's web site at

The purpose of the online system is to provide a method for Friends to manage their own editing, adding and deleting of the Meeting's contact information for them. Access to this information is limited to Friends who are on the list, and new entries are reviewed by Ministry and Counsel. Friends may use the online system to send email postings to those Friends on the list who have chosen to receive them. The Meeting also uses this database to print address labels for postal mailings to the mailing list.

Browse to morningsidemeeting.org

To use this new system, use a web browser to go to the Morningside Meeting web site (at the URL above). Click on the first link, which says “Log in to Morningside email posting system (non-public pages) .“ This brings you to the Morningside Meeting Mail Manager starting page, which asks you to log in.

If you have never logged in before enter your full email address in the bottom box and click the button that says “Send my login information.” Within a minute or so you will receive an email from info@morningsidemeeting.org that contains your starting password.

Use your full email address and this starting password to log in to the Mail Manager system, in the boxes that say “Enter your user name and password.”

The Mail Manager main page

The next page is the Mail Manager main page. It contains an explanation of the system and four buttons at the bottom. The upper two buttons allow you to use the email posting system, and the lower two allow you to maintain your own information for the list. After your first time logging in, you should review this information and change your password to something you can remember.

Edit your name and address info and email sign-up

Click the “Edit address or login info” to see what the system has as your address, phone and email, and update this as needed. You can also change your login name from being your email address to being something else you prefer.

Note the “Email notices to send me” checkboxes, and change them if you wish. You can sign up to just receive M&C approved official notices, or for unmoderated postings from other Friends on the list (or for neither).

If you make changes, click the “Save changes” button at the bottom, or if not, you can click the “Mail Manager” button at the top of the page to return to the main page.

Change your password

On the main page, click the “Change my password” button to reset your password. If you forget your password at any time, you can enter your email address into the bottom field of the login page, and it will be emailed to you.

Send an email to the Morningside list

To use the email posting system to send an email to all Morningsiders on the list who have checked the “postings” box in their address, click the “Enter a post” button on the main page. This takes you to a form in which you enter the subject and body of the email posting you wish to send. Emails are sent in plain and simple text only.

Test the email first

Click the “Send a test email to me” button when your email is complete. You will shortly receive this email yourself for you to review how it looks and to find any typos or errors.

Edit it as needed

On the Mail Manager main page, click the “Edit my unsent email posts” button, to retrieve the email for editing as needed. Send yourself a test email every time you make a change, to verify it is successfully made.

Send it to everyone

When you have received a test email that is to your satisfaction, click the “Send post to all” button and WAIT for the several minutes it takes for the system to send out the emails and return with a message that will tell you how many were sent. DO NOT click again or refresh the page, as this can interrupt the transmission or cause it to send multiple copies.
