We are part of a larger National body which has I guess a corporate/charity Microsoft account.

 

We have been allocated 2 email addresses which we generally use for receiving emails.

 

I started using one to send emails relating to the Treasurer role and I've had no complaints about that.

 

The other is for anything else, so we could try using that instead. It just means 1 person has to do all the outwards emails, instead of the work being shared around. After all, we are volunteers, not employees.





Delete cookies?! Are you insane?!

The deliverability of GMail is probably the same as the one for an Office 365 account.

Unfortunately you will always find someone in an older group who is stubbornly determined that life can go on perfectly well without change and they will do everything in their power to prove this no matter which route you go down. 

 

Maybe it’s time to tell the troubling ones that this is as far as the issue goes and you’ve exhausted all avenues in your power and either they give you a friends or offspring email address who can access and print it out for them or they get the printed sheet from another willing member that they can drive over to and give a Koha for the paper and time.

 

Since the majority of members don’t have issues make it their problem not yours. Suggest maybe they need to buy a new device because theirs is too old and won’t update to accept this 'new fangled' stuff. Offer them the name and contact of a tech expert that can help them…for a charge. When it might cost them, magic could happen. 

 

There is one person like this that I help who always argues and insists they can continue to do things their way, so now I explain what’s needed, ie a new device but step back and leave the problem in their court. I don’t envy you.
