Mail preview service coming to campus
|
The Mail Center is piloting a new mail service that provides a preview of physical mail slated for delivery on campus. Users may request that mail be recycled in the Mail Center or forwarded to another user, with regular delivery as the default action. Please watch for an email from no-reply@receiveddigital.com today for login information. This email may go to the junk folder and will need to be moved to your inbox if that happens.
As this is a pilot program, feedback is welcome from those who opt to make use of the service. Campus delivery will continue as usual if no action is taken. Please send questions and feedback regarding the service to kory.figura@wartburg.edu. Questions? Check out this digital mail guide.
