Notes on how Sagamore (and it's Sagamore Hills online effort) does email.

Addresses

Sagamore uses email addresses powered in the following ways.

Google Apps

The Sagamore Hills PTA Google account allows for Gmail (Google email) at @sagamorehillspta.org.

Conventional

Currently (2014-08), Sagamore uses the following email addresses (individual/personal accounts)

sagamoreelementarypta@gmail.com	Exclusive email address for the PTA. Often "From" address for Wildcat Updates.
sagamorephotos@gmail.com	Submit photos for school use (yearbook)

Discussion Groups

There are also Sagamore PTA discussion groups email addresses (e.g. garden@groups.sagamorehillspta.org) that facilitate many-to-many communication.

Usage

Sagamore email addresses will work as you're used to. Addresses are established for positions, such as president@sagamorehillspta.org . Your email interface—phone, web, desktop client—are configured to access that email account (in addition to your existing email) (I make house calls). Using both your personal and Sagamore email accounts is easy. Both the "From:" field and footer signature can be set to mention both your name and Sagamore position. Now when you roll off your position, your successor has access to your past activity (in your Sagmore email account) and you won't continue to be solicited by the wider world regarding Sagamore business. Light duty use might just have a Sagamore email address forwarded to a personal account instead of using the Sagamore email directly.
