Email/account is already in use

If you are receiving the error below when trying to create an account then this article is for you:

Email/account is already in use. Please use the 'Recover Account' option if you forgot your password.

Option 1

It is advised that you create a new email account to be used with the account. With a free email service such as gmail or hotmail

If you need help linking your gmail account to MyAdventist see Google login for MyAdventist

if you and your spouse share one email address then option 2 is for you

If you are seeing the error above all you need to do is add a +MyAdventist just before the @ sign as shown below:

Emails sent to your email address with the +MyAdventist still appear in your email in box

The + has a very useful meaning for almost all email services, as the characters after it are ignored

ie, Email+MyAdventist@adventist.org.au and Email@adventist.org.au are treated as the same email address

As the +MyAdventist part of the email address is ignored
