4. Send invite to alternative email address OR Reveal password and from your own @hypha.coop email, send a welcome email, like this template:

   Hi XXXX --

   Yay! Your Hypha email's set up and forwarding to your personal inbox. People can start emailing you at this address immediately, without any extra effort on your part.

   Your new email (and login): XXX@hypha.coop
   Your password:

   The next steps will depend on how you like to handle email:

   • If you'd like to use it from our hosted webmail interface...
   • If you'd like to use it from another email client...

   Once you're set up, let us know by sending a test email to infra@hypha.coop, ideally with a short emoji-only story. (Keypad mashes a-ok!) We'll send a friendly poke in a week if we haven't heard back.

   Questions? Feedback? Reach out via infra@hypha.coop or #hyphacoop-infra:tomesh.net for chat.

   In Solidarity,
   xxxxx
