FAQ's
- How does My Club Email work?
-
My Club Email is an email forwarding (or redirection) service. Email received at
your My Club Email address is forwarded directly to the email address you specify.
For example if your current email address is samuel@gmail.com and you purchase sammy@godees.me,
you select your Gmail account as your email forwarding address during setup. Once
My Club Email receives an email for your sammy@godees.me address it looks up your
forwarding address and sends all the mail directly to your gmail account at samuel@gmail.com.
If you subsquently change your internet provider you simply logon to My Club Email
and change your Email Forwarding address.
- What are the advantages of a My Club Email address?
-
- The User Supports his club via an ongoing (residual) yearly contribution.
- The User has his/her own personalised email address associated with the club.
- The ability to scan for Virus and Spam well before reaching their email box.
- The ability to retain the same email address whilst changing Internet Service Provider.
- Engagement with your club via email regarding one of Team Lists, Coaches report
or Captains report (subject to club approval).
- Business cards and stationery can be printed with the confidence of knowing that
your email address is not going to change.
- Most importantly you as a sports lover are passionate about YOUR club. You not only
want to show that you BARRACK for your club but you SUPPORT your club.
- On purchase of a My Club Email address you are financially supporting your club.
- Does Email forwarding allow you to mask your true email address?
-
Yes and No. For all email sent to your My Club Email address, yes this is true.
There is no way for the end user to know where the email is forwarded by our servers,
only you know that.
However, for your outgoing email even when you use the "send from" and "reply to"
options (see guides page) the actual email address you sent your email from will
appear in the message headers. Some of this data is hidden by some email programs,
some of this detail is not hidden and plainly visible.
- Will your information be passed onto a third party?
-
We will only ever pass on your email information to the club that you are linked
to and only if you give us permission to do so. By granting permission to your club
you may receive emails from the coaches and marketing departments, Team Lists, Coaches
Report or Captains reports as well as merchandising and marketing information that
the club deems to be suitable. So if club merchandise goes on sale and you have
a birthday coming up you will be one of the first to know so don't miss out!
- Why do I have to pay online through PayPal and is it safe?
-
PayPal is the world's leading online transaction provider. It enables businesses
and users to send and receive electronic monies online. As a My Club Email customer
you can use the service to either make a single one off payment using your credit
card OR you can open an account which will allow you to make regular payments. PayPal
allows the team at My Club Email to keep its expenses to a minimum and pass on the
savings to the sporting clubs we support. By automating the process it allows us
to process invoices and advise and pay the clubs in a timely manner. PayPal is safer
to use than going into a shop to buy goods. Paypal encrypts all financial and personal
information when sending between your computer and servers. When the user is registering
or logging in to our site, we verify that your internet browser is running Secure
Sockets Layer 3.0 (SSL) or higher. Whilst in transit the information is protected
by SSL with an encryption key length of 168 bits (the highest level commercially
available). It would take 18 years for all the super computers in the world to decrypt
this information. Not really worth the hassle for online thieves! That's why criminals
focus their attention on card skimming techniques and not the internet.
- Can I still use my current email address?
-
YES. All emails that are sent to your current email address, no matter what email
system you are using will always come into your mailbox. Both email addresses will
work side by side in perfect harmony. You won't notice the difference.
- Do I need to make any changes to the way I use my current Email program?
-
NO changes are necessary. As soon as you have registered your new email address
with My Club Email, emails will start coming into your current mail box. However,
you may like to change the RETURN email address in the settings of your email program
so that new emails you send show up as being sent from your NEW My Club Email address
as well as when you hit the Reply or Reply to All buttons.
My Club Email has separate how-to guides for the setup of Microsoft Outlook, Outlook
Express, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, Eudora and Netscape Users. Refer to the guides page
for help with these.
- Are we officially endorsed?
-
If My Club Email uses a league or clubs Logo and/or Intellectual Property (IP) it
means we are endorsed by both that league and that club. If we are not using a club's
logo or IP then we are either not endorsed by that club or simply have not been
in contact with that club. We will always, no matter what the circumstances, pay
each club half the monies that we receive from each and every email address created.
We are very open and transparent about this fact.
- How long does my My Club Email address last?
-
A My Club Email address lasts for 1 year or the period selected if the user has
that option. An automated email will be sent to the user 4 weeks prior to the expiration.
Another automated email will be sent 10 days after the expiration if the user has
not renewed their address. There will be a 3 week grace from the expiration date
before My Club Email disables that email address. After 3 months that email address
will be available for resale.
- What happens if a User creates an inappropriate email address using my sporting
clubs Domain name?
-
If a User is found to have created an email address with profanities or in any way
tarnishes the brand of a sporting club that email address will be shut down immediately.
The User will be advised that he or she has 1 warning and if found to again breach
My Club Email conditions of use, will be banned from using My Club Email for life. My Club Email
has at its discretion the power to decide on the matter and if a suitable case is
not made the email address will be shutdown.
