BRS Registered User Accounts

In order to access some features of the Website, such as, for example, internal BRS documents, or a BRS.org email account, you must be a BRS member and become a Registered User of BRS.org, which will also create a user account. As a Registered User, you agree to be bound by the following terms:

When creating or modifying your account, you must provide accurate, current, and complete information. We reserve the right to disallow use of any user name that we deem offensive or inappropriate. You will be responsible for preserving the confidentiality of your password and for all actions of persons accessing the Website through any username/password assigned to you. You must notify the BRS immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. You may never use another’s account without permission.

Using a email program like Outlook will cause the emails from your account to be downloaded to the email program on your computer. The Webmail area will only display emails that have not been previously downloaded to your computer; it cannot display emails that were previously downloaded to your computer by an email program.

The following settings are necessary to properly configure an email program:
