How do I use Mail?

The Mail system allows members to communicate privately without disclosing your email address.

To reach the Mail system, log into MakeupAlley.com and click Mail from the top menu under the MakeupAlley logo.

How to Send a Message

1. Click Compose from the lefthand menu

2. Enter the recipients' username, a subject and a body for your message

3. Click Send to send your message.

If you click Sent Items from the lefthand menu, under Mail Folders you can review your sent mails.

Note: All content shared on the Boards and by Mail message must adhere to our Terms of Service (TOS).

Setting Mail Preferences

1. Click Preferences from the lefthand menu

2. You can choose whether or not to receive email notification when you have a new MUA Mail message or to turn off the Mail system for your account.

If you choose to receive an email notification, the email will be sent from [e-mail] to the address you used when you registered. Be sure to add [e-mail] to your list of trusted addresses so that it doesn't get lost in your spam/junk folder.

Ignoring a Member

When reading a message, you have the option to ignore, or block, a member by clicking Ignore this Member. If you choose to ignore a member, all future messages from this member will not arrive in your inbox and you will no longer see this user's posts on the Message Boards. They will also not be able to see yours.

The member in question will be notified that you have chosen to ignore him/her. 

Click Ignore List from the lefthand menu to review and manage which members you have blocked. You may choose to remove a member from the Ignore List at any time.

For more information about blocking a member, see How do I block or ignore a member?

Leaving the Mail System

To exit Mail, click the MakeupAlley logo to return to the homepage, or click a link in the menu to go directly to Product Reviews, Boards, etc.

You may also click Logout from the upper lefthand menu to log out of MakeupAlley.com.
