4. Click **Subscribe**.

> ℹ️ To subscribe to an Open subscription list, UConn or non-UConn users **do not** have to create a password with Listserv to just subscribe to a list.
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ Instead, from their Outlook mailbox they can send an email to **listserv@listserv.uconn.edu** with the following in the body of the email:
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ Subscribe NameOfList NameOfUser
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ Example: *Subscribe TestList-L Tim Garcia*
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ In the above example, TestList-L is the name of the list that the user Tim Garcia would like to Subscribe to.
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ Please note that the Subject should be **empty.**
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ If the setting on the list for subscription is Open, Confirm, the email address that the subscriber sent the email from, will receive a response from Listserv to confirm that the email address is valid. The subscriber can click through, and this will add the user as a subscriber to the list.
