We use a Gmail address, VCVmanager@gmail.com to receive email. Its features include:

• A signature line is automatically inserted for outgoing email.

• A list of contacts - the main VCV members.

• An "admins" mail group, which contains email addresses for the website administrators only.

• A list of members' email addresses, stored in a Google Document that belongs to VCVmanager@gmail.com

• Coloured labels that mark various type of incoming email, so you can quickly locate or display those emails later. For example: Invoices, and Enquiries.

• The Inactive Account Manager, which alerts the main VCV members if no-one has read any incoming email for three months.
