We are going to create a test email list and send an email.
Creating a new list
- Log in to the administrator

- Here you will see the page with all of your email campaigns.
- At the top you can add new lists. In the bottom section, you can click to edit or send your existing emails.
- Since we are creating a testing account, let's set up a new account.

- In the right hand section of the page, look for the section titled "Select Users to Add"
- Make sure the drop down says email.
