Adding Email Archive to your site activates an email address that your site participants can use to communicate with each other. Email sent to your site's email address is copied to all site participants and owners, and all messages are stored in the Email Archive.

Note: You cannot use Email Archive to send messages to particular individuals. Messages sent to your site's email address are received by all site participants.

To add Email Archive to your site's menubar, follow the steps:

1. In your site's menubar, click `Site Info`.
2. Near the top, click `Edit Tools`.
3. Under "Revising site tools for...", check the box next to `Email Archive`, and then scroll down and click `Continue`.
4. Under "Email Archive", in the field next to "Site email address", enter a site email address (e.g., `history-fall-06`). This will be the name, title, or label (i.e., alias) that goes before the `@` in your course email address.
5. Click `Continue`, and on the subsequent confirmation screen, click `Finish` to return to the Site Info screen.

You should now be able to see and click `Email Archive` in your site's menubar.
