View and send Announcements for rent, sale, pets, etc using Public Folders

You can send/post mail to Public folders either by navigating to the folder you want to post to and add a new post, or by composing an email like you would normally and address it to the desired public folder.
The messages in these folders will expire based on the folder. For example Dry Ice messages will expire in 2 days, but rental related messages will expire in 30 days. If your message expires before you get results, you may re-post it as often as you like. Advertisements are more likely to be read by the target audience if a descriptive subject line is used and the dates available and how to contact you are included in the body of the message.

The addresses of the public folders are:

• Ads: Ads@nymc.edu
• Announcement: Announcement@nymc.edu
• Dry Ice: DryIce@nymc.edu
• Events & Tickets for Sale: EventTickets@nymc.edu
• For Sale: ForSale@nymc.edu
• Pets: Pets@nymc.edu
• Rentals Available or Needed: Rentals@nymc.edu
