Using a Non-Google vs. Google Email Address

It is not necessary to have a Google account to participate. However, for operations that require authentication to the Google site, an account is necessary.

For those who do not have a Google account, note that all collaborators have access to the account which owns the groups: halldops@gmail.com. The password matches that of the online account. This account has all privileges on the groups.

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
