Accessing a SPA-Affiliated bMail Account

Users must be granted explicit access to a Special Purpose Account (SPA) before they can sign in to the affiliated bMail account. Please follow the instructions below based on your access level.


How to Log In

For Users with Delegated Access

Users with delegated access can open the SPA bMail account directly from their personal inbox:

  1. Log in to your personal bMail account.
  2. Click on the round Account icon in the upper right corner (this usually contains your profile picture or initials).
  3. Select the SPA email address from the drop-down menu that appears below your account info.

For Direct Members

Direct members can log in to the SPA bMail account using the "Plus" login method (+YourID). For step-by-step instructions, see: Log in to the SPA as a Direct Member (KB0014215).
