best practices & email etiquette

Personal Contact Groups and Distribution Lists
Please take care when creating personal contact lists for "groups" of people. ie. LP Staff
Your personal contact list will never be a one-to-one match to the system distribution list that has been provided - as staff is continually hired, transferred, and retired.
Omitting staff from a personal distribution list presents a challenge to yourself, the omitted staff member and IS (who is tasked with researching the cause)
-
Your mailbox space is finite....
Delete old, unwanted emails. Keep your emails organized.
