Ask Anything

There are a lot of basic questions on Mail Art that are often asked and answered. This group might be the first place to look for answers. I will do my best to answer, but hope that other members can help out as well.

OK, Google cannot seem to help me with this. What is the relationship between Nancy the cartoon and mail artists?

This group needs a revive since a lot of new members arrived at IUOMA with lots of questions.....

Comment by Susan McAllister on February 8, 2016 at 12:43am
I recently had to change my email address and now no longer receive notifications from the groups I am on. I tried to fix this by leaving my groups, updating my email address on my page, then re-joining the groups. That didn't work. Can anyone help? I am basically computer illiterate. Please speak slowly and simply. Thanks.

I like that we don't have to make our address available, during my busy times it means that I don't feel overwhelmed with mail that sends me into a panic to respond to.

Comment by Poison Label Productions on October 5, 2015 at 3:30am
I refuse to be part of any restrictions on members that require more than an email.

I have spent many years promoting an open - no rule type area for expression...

I have an active & positive e-mail art group here in which a physical address is not required...

I am against restricting members by imposing any unnecessary rules without just cause..

Nothing can or should be done about this...

If you need a snail mail address,
A good % of members have them...

Please Direct your attention toward them...

Carl Baker, hello!

I have all of my information posted and have had no "bad" mail in all of the years I've been on this site. I'm not sure why people only give an e-mail address. I never write to them to ask for a postal address, I skip over them. As for P.O. boxes, some people might not be able to afford a P.O. Box or not have a post office nearby, I don't know. Maybe some of those who don't give out their postal address will comment on this. There's nothing we can do about this. Just send mail to those who have their postal addresses listed. Easy.

hello moderator,

if this is a MAIL-art organization/union why do we have members who do not have a actual mailing address listed?  the iuoma site becomes a chat room for all unrelated topics. i think at very least a mailing address,

PO. box number should be provided, this is what we do, put postage on an envelope and send it by hand in the mail. if u can't do that don't be involved at iuoma. i do both, real mail-art and post things electronically.

thats my problem/question, what can be done?

The money will be used to keep the IUOMA-platform alive. Current donations keep platform online till 1-MAY-2026. If you want to donate to get IUOMA-publications into archives and museums please mention this with your donation. It will then be used to send some hardcopy books into museums and archives. You can order books yourself too at the IUOMA-Bookshop. That will sponsor the IUOMA as well.

IMPORTANT: please use the friends/family option with donation on Paypal. That makes transaction fee the lowest.

This IUOMA platform on NING has no advertisings, so the funding is completely depending on donationsby members. Access remains free for everybody off course
