Tips for readers of the eBridge
BACKGROUND
eBridge
delivery may be
prevented by spam
filters,
especially in your
mail provider's
incoming mail
server and in the
mail app on your
computer if you
use one. You can
access your mail
provider's mail
server by using
the webmail
interface they
supply, such as
mail.google.com,
mail.aol.com,
icloud.com/mail,
or
webmail.cox.net.
You can also
optionally access
it by using a mail
app on your
computer, which
may not be from
your mail
provider; for
example, you might
have a Cox, Gmail
or Yahoo mail
account, but use
Outlook, Windows
Mail, or Apple
Mail as your mail
app. Each has its
own spam
filtering, so you
need to go to each
to look for your
eBridge in the
spam/junk folder,
and to prevent
your eBridge from
being blocked.
WHAT TO DO
If
your eBridge does
not arrive by
mid-month, and there is no notice of delay on the website, look in
the spam/junk and
trash folders
both in your mail
provider's
webmail, and in
your mail app if
you use one. If
you find it, mark
it as not spam
and/or move it to
the inbox to
"train" the spam
filter to allow
messages from this
address.
If your mail can
be sorted into
tabs or folders
such as Outlook's
"focused" "other"
and "clutter,"
look in these too.
If you do not find
it, try webmail on
a different
computing device,
such as desktop,
laptop, tablet or
smartphone, and/or
try a different
browser.
To reduce the
chances of an
eBridge being
blocked by your
mail provider's
spam filter on
their mail server,
do the following:
(1) Go to webmail
and put
emadmin@hrcaz.org
in your mail
account's contacts
and allow list,
AKA safe or
trusted senders
list or white
list.
(2) Check it is
not on your
blocked senders
list.
(3) Ensure your
mail account is
not set to delete
suspected spam
without telling
you.
(4)Ensure there is
a long delay
before trash or
spam folders are
emptied so you
have time to find
a missing eBridge.
AOL fixes these at
7 and 30 days
respectively, but
30 days for both
is better for
finding missing
emails, and some
mail systems let
the user choose.
Then, if you use a
mail app, repeat
all four steps in
it too.
Ample advice is
available, such as
whitelist.guide, which has instructions
for most mail
providers. (Scroll
to find your
provider's icon;
don't use the
search.)
finally, if you
have a firewall
such as
microsoft/Windows
Defender, or
anti-virus
software such as
Mcafee or Norton,
ensure it is not
set up so it could
block email you
want to receive.
If you still
don't get your
eBridge, or if
you don't
understand these
tips, please ask
hotline@hrcaz.org.

Website
Updates
The Event Schedule is updated
each time the Bridge is published, and whenever
event updates are received at hotline@hrcaz.org.
The ARCHIVES page, updated approximately
monthly during the active part of the club year,
contains a variety of recent and memory-lane items,
including back issues of the online Bridge, photo
galleries, minutes of board meetings and reports
from the treasurer and website manager.
Occasional updates are
made to:
- The USEFUL LINKS
page, which has information on other Honeywell
retiree clubs, senior discounts, medical &
health (including resources
to help with medical insurance problems)
and genealogy, as well as a Honeywell dashboard
with a variety of information about the
company\97financial news, general news and
patents.
- The PHOENIX
AREA ATTRACTIONS page, which has
information on a wide variety of local
attractions, parks & preserves,
spectator sports, performing arts,
cultural history, museums, art galleries,
and, of course "miscellaneous."
See the Site Map for an
overview of all the information on this
website.
Please let us know at hotline@hrcaz.org, if you
have any suggestions for additions or
improvements to any of these pages, or
if you find something that needs correcting.
These are the kinds of activities that HRSC has:
The
Honeywell Retiree Social Club of Arizona
(HRSC) extends a warm welcome to all Honeywell
retirees who worked for Honeywell in the state of
Arizona. This includes retirees from
organizations that merged with Honeywell or were
at one point part of Honeywell; for example, see
the logos in the header above. Our purpose
is to help you maintain contact with your retired
Honeywell associates and to provide a variety of
information and activities of interest.
To
do this, HRSC provides many social activities so
that friendships can be renewed and maintained on a
regular basis. These include picnics, luncheons,
horse race meetings, golf outings, tours, cruises,
trips, museum visits, and lecture/discussion
meetings on a variety of subjects.
Many
people have fond memories of interaction with their
associates and loss of contact with them is one of
the drawbacks of retirement. We encourage all
retirees to participate in these activities to
renew, maintain and expand contact with people they
have come to know well over the years and to form
new friendships with others in the Honeywell family.
HRSC
publishes a newsletter, The Bridge, 9
times a year, which is distributed to members in
electronic form, and in paper form for members
unable to receive email. Membership costs $5 per
year, and the membership year ends on April 30. To
join, click the "Membership
Application/Renewal/Change" button at the left side
of this page, and pay by credit or debit card.
(You will also be offered an option to pay by
check.) Please consider paying for multiple years to
save time and money for yourself and HRSC.
Honeywellers who leave Arizona after retirement are
welcome to join or continue membership and receive The
Bridge.
The club is a
social network of Honeywell retirees and as such
does not deal with pension, health care or other
benefits. Please direct these questions to the
Honeywell Retirement Service Center at 1 800 526
0744 or honeywell.com/retiree.
