Using a Non-Google vs. Google Email Address

It is not necessary to have a Google account to participate. You can post messages to a group from a non-Google account, and you will receive all messages posted by others at that non-Google account. However, for operations that require authentication to the Google website, an account is necessary.

There are two types of groups: public and private. The implications for non-google accounts are different for the two.

• Public. You cannot post to the group using the web-browser interface (that would require authentication). You can post by sending email from your subscribed account, you will get all the emails, and you can browse and search postings on the web.
• Private. You cannot post and you cannot browse using the web interface (again, authentication would be required for both). You can post from your email account, and you will get all of the emails there.

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. You can use the account if you need to bypass any of the restrictions described above for public or private groups (though you will be acting as user = halldops if you post).

The following table summarizes 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
