FROM THE BOARD
ASK IRO Mailbox
Last month’s Ask IRO Mailbox talked about free trial subscriptions to McAfee LiveSafe. It generated a lot of mail into the IRO Mailbox asking about how to find your @intelretiree.com email address. That leads us to this month’s ASK IRO MAILBOX.
Question: I don’t know or can’t remember my @intelretiree.com email address. How can I find it?
Answer: Your @intelretiree.com email address was automatically generated based on the email you used when you signed up to become a member of the Intel Retiree Organization. As an example, if Brian Beck joined IRO using the email beckbrian@gmail.com, his Intel retiree email address would be beckbrian@intelretiree.com. For more information about your @intelretiree.com email address (what is it, why do you need it, etc.), please check out these FAQs.
