How to Reuse an Existing List Name for a SPA Email Account

If you currently own a bConnected mailing list and want to use that exact same name for a new SPA email account, you must delete the existing mailing list first. Follow these steps to transition the name successfully:

1. Go to Manage bConnected Lists.
2. Locate your list, copy the member roster, and make a note of all current list settings.
3. Note: If the roster is very large, contact bconnected@berkeley.edu to request a copy of the roster in a file format that can be easily re-uploaded.
4. Delete the existing mailing list.
5. Create the new SPA: How to Create a SPA (KB0015521).
6. Create the associated bMail account for the SPA: Managing SPA-Affiliated bMail Accounts (KB0015445).
7. Once the email account is active, re-create the mailing list while logged in as the SPA, then re-add your members.
