Using only email for posting and replying
If you plan to just be using emails to post new topics and reply to the emails that you receive from other members postings, and you’ve made those selections on the emails page, then you’re basically done. Just use the address n26_115_233+general-4@discoursemail.com to submit new topics. The subject of new topic can’t be too short (at least 15 characters), and the body of the email must be at least 5 characters (e.g. “Thanks”). To reply to an email from the site, use the email reply arrow as you have been doing.
