Protégé vs. mentee 6 years 5 months ago #73223

Why don't you just make it backwards compatible so both mentees@ and protege@ group e-mail addresses go to the same place? It'll seriously cause the least issues.

You can also make both protégé@ and protege@ go to the same place also. People from some countries are comfortable with typing é while some people from other countries aren't.

Protégé vs. mentee 6 years 4 months ago #73506

SteveTheTechie Offline Administrator Posts: 11526 Thank you received: 3795	So I made a number of changes to implement Protege ... Both proteges-####@toastmastersclubs.org and mentees-####@toastmastersclubs.org are equivalent. Not supporting accented characters for the email address as special characters are a big source of headaches. I am considering this done and am closing this thread.
