Oh my!
In an attempt to introduce a friend to MailMan3, I had her subscribe to a couple of lists that I set up and we exchanged a few messages via the email interface.
Then I introduced her to the web interface and we were both confused when she could not log-in/sign-in and was told that her email address was not recognized.
It was only later that I realized that while she was a subscriber, she hadn’t yet signed up for an account.
What is the point of “accounts"? Why can someone become a subscriber, but not have an account?
I find the user/member/subscriber explanation at http://mailman.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/architecture.html to be very confusing.
