Email preference settings

Messages between you and other members, and you and your Town moderators are now available online at any time in My Messages, so you don't have to worry about missing a message or searching around for an email. 

Here's how to customize your email settings

Log in at:  https://my.freecycle.org and click on the My Menu icon, then select Settings  

It looks like this on a phone

And this on a computer web browser

Global Email Settings

The default setting is checked/on. Click the box next to each selection to turn it on or off and then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Save Changes. You will be always able to see these messages online in My Messages, whether or not you you choose to receive emails.

• Messages: Put a checkmark in this box to receive an email each time a Freecycle Friend sends you a message. 
• System Notifications: Put a checkmark in this box to receive emails for Notifications that require an action on your part, like when another member sends a Friend request. 

Town Email Preferences

When you first join a Town group, you will be set up for the default email setting of Digest. You can change the setting for each Town in this section. Make your selection and then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Save Changes.

• Receive an email for every new post - You will receive an email for each post when it is created on the website. This is the fastest way to be notified by email about new posts.
• Receive a digest of all new posts - You will receive one email containing up to 25 posts, at least once a day. This means the posts in the list can be up to 24 hours old and may include items marked as taken if they have been given away during this period.
• Only receive emails for Town notices- You will only receive occasional messages from your moderator team.
• Never receive emails - you will receive no Post or Town Notice emails but you will be able to view all posts, messages and Town notices online at any time in My Messages.

A word about post reply messages: You will always receive an email notification when another member replies to your post, or replies to a message you sent them about a post. To reply to the message, click the link in the email and you'll be taken to My Messages on the Freecycle.org website to reply.

Friends Circle Email Preferences

The default setting for Friends Circle is an email for every new post. You can change that setting here. Make your selection and then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click  Save Changes.

• Receive an email for every new post - You will receive an email for each post when it is created on the website. This is the fastest way to be notified by email about new posts.
