This includes email, files, and photos stored in your Google Workspace account. Active logon activity is required, otherwise Google Workspace will be removed after 6 months inactivity.

***As of November 16th, all newly admitted students will be using Outlook 365 email rather that Google Owl Mail. Please see the section for Office 365 Outlook.

Sympa Mailing Lists

A mailing list is a distribution list that offers a means of communicating electronically with a group of people through a single e-mail address without having to know who all of the members of the group are and all of their individual addresses. Whenever someone sends an e-mail message to a mailing list address, that message automatically goes out to everyone subscribed to the list. FAU is using Sympa mailing list manager. List creation is available for Faculty and Staff.

Mail lists allow people to join (subscribe) or leave (unsubscribe) them at any time. When you send a message to a mailing list, you address the email to the mailing list's name. When the mailing list server receives the message, it expands the name of the mailing list into each of the individual addresses currently on the list and it redirects your message to each of those people, called subscribers.
