Email at wwvar.com

The association pays for one email address: ae@wwvar.com. This is a Microsoft365 mailbox, and service is administered and billed annually by Price Computers in Milton Freewater. (All other email addresses @wwvar.com are aliases on this account.)

I send and receive mail using phil@wwvar.com which looks more personal and lets me use a personal signature – but it’s actually an alias for the AE mailbox.

To read email online, sign into https://www.microsoft365.com with username phil@wwvar.com and password 2003Sorento!  (Instructions below to add your own email address.)

You can also add this mailbox to your NWMLS Outlook application so that all your mail comes in at one place. [Note: Don’t add your personal email or calendar if they’re at Google/Yahoo/etc – those external connections are not permanent and you’ll just have to recreate them every day; frustrating waste of time.)

WWVAR Email Adminstration

To update or create email accounts at wwvar.com, first open a different browser (Edge or Firefox) or open an incognito window. This is because Chrome remembers that you are signed into Microsoft365 as yourself and will get confused.

In the new window, sign into https://microsoft365.com with user name adminphil@wwvar.com and password 2003Sorento!  (This is not a paid license, so user adminphil can’t send mail or do anything except manage wwvar.com accounts.)

Unless you have set up the MS Authenticator app on your personal cell phone, click “Sign in another way.”

(If you have not yet added your own mobile number, then Microsoft will want to text a verification code to my phone at 509-540-3028.)
