I have searched the site, but do not know what a t mail is. Please explain. Thanks.

Welcome to ATP.

This is the site's private messaging system. You will see a link on everyone's profile where you can send them a t-mail.

Or, over on the left side of the home page, you see the little envelope icon in the blue area? That is your Tree-Mail box.

If you click on anyone's screen name, it will ask you if you want to send them a Tree Mail. It will be a message that only you and they can see.

Everyone has explained it well.

If someone sends you a Tree-mail message, the little envelope (over on the left upper portion of your screen) will turn red to alert you that there is a message waiting to be read. The messages are private; only visible to you and the other person.

Thanks all! I understand now.

Hi Marty, from me too! I just sent you a tree-mail as a test.

Thanks!

Welcome to ATP, Marty!

Be a little cautious about using the "group Tree-Mail" feature. Someone used it to ask many people a question, and I was getting many TreeMails per day like "Yes" and "Me, too" for weeks.

I see from one of your "thumbs" that you were interested in saving seeds!

Dave, the co-Host and Software Wizard for this site is right now in the middle of adding a shiny new seed trading feature for group swaps. It's in Beta test so far, but I hope to see you in future group seed swaps.
