We use Google Groups for some of our email discussion lists.

Using a non-Google Email Address

It is not necessary to have a Google account to participate. However, for operation that require authentication to the Google site, an account is necessary. All collaborators have access to the account which owns the groups: halldops@gmail.com. The password matches that of the online account.

There are two types of groups: public and private. The following table lists privileges using a non-Google email account:

Receive email Send email Browse postings on web Post on web
Public yes yes yes no
Private yes yes no no
