Firefly mail and distribution lists are maintained on Zimbra Collaboration Server with a web interface at https://mail.fireflyartscollective.org/. You can log into Zimbra to change your mail settings, read list archives, change your Firefly Account password, and send and receive mail. Zimbra is like "private Gmail" (or Exchange) for Firefly, and it works in a very similar way.

To get started, go to https://mail.fireflyartscollective.org/ and log in with your Firefly Account address and password. Your Firefly Account password was sent to you when your account was established. If you can't remember your password, contact tech@fireflyartscollective.org to have it reset. You will be required to create a new password the first time you log in.

Keeping Your Mail on the Firefly Zimbra Server

The default for new Firefly email addresses is to forward all mail to your personal email address and NOT keep a local copy. If you would like to keep your accounts separate, or just want to use the Zimbra interface as well, you must change your mail forwarding settings.

1) Log in to the Zimbra Web Client at https://mail.fireflyartscollective.org/

2) Click on the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen.
