How do you change or add an email?

Both admins and volunteers can change or add an email in their POINT account, here's how:

Note: If you made a typo in your email during registration or want to add another email address, you do not need to create a new account. Just follow the steps to change your account email below. 

Terms you should know: 

Primary Email: The email used to log-in into POINT
Contact Email: An alternative address to which you can send communication emails. This email address is utilized for communication and receiving messages from POINT, organizations you are a member of, etc.

Multiple contact emails can be added, but only one primary email can be designated at a time. Changing the role of an email is a simple process.

By default, the email you used during registration is automatically set as the primary email and contact email.

How to add an email from the web:

Step 1. Go to the manage account view and select "Email Settings"
Step 2. Click the orange button "Add Email" in the upper right corner.
Step 3. Add the correct email and verify it.
