OK, there is what I posted to the Google groups. That should clear up everything: On 15/02/06 12:06, "Don and Jan Stowe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Feb 15, 2006, at 10:36 AM, P.

How do I get it? OK, here are some clarifications from what I did experience. There seems to be some confusion on the Google website about how to subscribe to groups and manage your subscription from a non-Google email account. For those that are subscribed from their Gmail account, please ignore this. For all the others, here is what I did again. You first need to send an email from the account you want to subscribe to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. You'll receive a confirmation email and you just have to reply to it. Then, go to <http://groups.google.com/>. From that page, click the "Join" link next to "New users". On the next page, enter your current email address, the one you just subscribed. Choose a password and customize your profile if you want. Then, click the "I accept. Create my account." button at the bottom of the page. You will get another confirmation for your account creation. You can again reply to that confirmation or click the hyperlink in it. When creating an account for my Fannie Mae email address, I did click the hyperlink. Then, open a new browser tab or window or enter the Google Groups link <http://groups.google.com/>. From that page, now click the "Sign in" link next to "Members". When I want to sign in with my Gmail account, I just enter my user ID without the domain, e.g. 'laurent.daudelin' (my Google email address is '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'). If I want to manage my Fannie Mae email address account, I first sign out if I'm signed in then I enter my full Fannie Mae email address in the email field, e.g. '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', along with my password. That's working perfectly so far. Using Safari, if I type enough characters to identify my Gmail account, it sets the password for that account automatically. Very handy. Once you signed in, you should see the "G-Books" group under "All my groups" since you already subscribed to that group with your email address. Click the "G-Books" link. Then, if you want to change your subscription (switch to digest, email, etc.), click the "Unsubscribe or change membership" link next to "Start a new topic". The next page should be pretty obvious. Save your settings and you're set. -Laurent. -- ======================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************ Usual disclaimers apply *********************** -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
