Using VFW Webmail

Our system is no different from any of the many high-end office email suites, only it is free and historical. By historical, I mean that it will be there for future post commanders, adjutants, and quartermasters. When a key officer leaves office, his mail stays behind for his successor.

Use of personal email addresses for business is a significant issue. If you think it is rough on your post, consider a small business where a key employee leaves and takes with them their knowledge base contained in their personal email account. What if you lost a key member due to death or work relocation/retirement?

The VFW Webmail system, based on Zimbra mail, provides three mailboxes for each post. They are:

Post Commander, cdrpostXXXX@nc.vfwwebmail.com
Adjutant, adjpostXXXX@nc.vfwwebmail.com
Quartermaster, qmpostXXXX@nc.vfwwebmail.com

The post passwords are reset shortly after the annual state convention. Content is retained, but access is changed.

Nothing explains the mail system better than a demonstration. Take a minute to watch an overview. Then, visit the additional sites listed to view demonstrations on making an address list or importing a mail list.
