How to Use Class Email Lists
Away From Your Campus Office

Refer to the documentation for your email client for creating and using email distribution lists.  If your email client does not have a Bcc: field, your email client is not suitable for use with the class email lists.   Be sure to:

• Always use the Bcc: field to send multiple emails
   
• Follow the Class Email Guidelines.
   

Follow these steps to use the class email lists when you are away from your campus office:

1. Open your email with the class list for your class.  The class email list for each of your classes appears in this format within the email message:
   student1@umail.montevallo.edu;
   student2@umail.montevallo.edu;
   student3@umail.montevallo.edu;
   student4@umail.montevallo.edu;
    
2. Use your mouse pointer and button to swipe and highlight the entire class email list but do not include the semicolons
    
3. Click Edit and then Copy on the toolbar to copy the highlighted list.
    
4. Open your email client and create a new blank email
    
5. Type your full UM email address in the To: line of the new email message
    
6. Click on the Bcc: field and then click Edit again and then Paste to paste the highlighted email list in the Bcc: address field
    
7. Enter the subject in the Subject field of the email message
    
8. Enter your message in the body of the new email message.  There may be problems opening an attachment so it is not advisable to use an attachment.
    
9. Click Send.
