# Lists

> Create a list and set everything that happens when someone joins it.

A list gathers people who agreed to receive the same kind of e-mail. Each list has its own subscribers, tags, segments, imports and exports, and settings.

## Create a list

**Contacts → New list**. The panel asks for:

* the **name**, seen by the team and by the subscribers (the header of the public pages, the confirmation e-mails);
* the **language of the list**, among every language there is: it is the language of the pages and e-mails its subscribers see, unless they chose another one;
* the **sender** (address and name), optional: left empty, the values from **Settings → General** are used;
* **double opt-in**.

The **Contacts** page shows each list as a card: how many subscribers, how many new this week, a curve of subscriptions over twelve weeks, the rate of people leaving, and the date of the last campaign.

## A list's settings

The **Settings** tab of a list. Each section is saved with the button in the bottom bar, which says when there is nothing to save.

### List

The list's name and language.

### Sender

Address, name and reply-to address. Leave them empty to use the application's defaults.

### Subscription

<ParamField path="Double opt-in" type="boolean">
  When it is on, a new person receives an e-mail with a confirmation link and
  stays **unconfirmed** until they click it. It is the best protection
  against fake addresses and malicious subscriptions, and the strongest proof
  of consent.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="Subject of the confirmation e-mail, Content of the confirmation e-mail" type="text">
  Write your own. The content must carry `{{ confirm_url }}`. Left empty,
  Lekalao sends a plain e-mail in the subscriber's language.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="Send a welcome e-mail" type="boolean, subject and content">
  Sent as soon as the subscription counts (straight away, or after
  confirmation). For a real welcome series, prefer an
  [automation](/automations/overview).
</ParamField>

The variables you may use are listed under the editor: see [Personalisation](/content/personalization).

<Tip>
  Subscribers who never confirm are deleted automatically after the delay set
  in **Settings → General → Contacts**. Left empty, they are kept.
</Tip>

### Subscription form

Lets a form on your site subscribe people to this list, with the allowed domains, the redirects after subscribing, confirming and unsubscribing, and a form ready to copy. See [Subscription forms](/contacts/subscription-forms).

In the same section, **Publish an archive of the campaigns** puts the campaigns you sent on a web page and an RSS feed, with the address to copy. See [Public pages](/contacts/public-pages#the-public-archive).

### Weekly summary

Every Monday at 8:00, a short e-mail to the recipients you name (one per line): the new subscribers and the departures of the week.

### Sending hours

A window (8:00 to 20:00, say) in a time zone you choose. Campaigns meant for this list wait for the window to open again before going out. A window that crosses midnight (20:00 to 6:00) works too.

## Delete a list

At the bottom of the settings, **Delete the list**. Deleting it takes **every subscriber** with it, along with its tags, segments, imports and exports. It cannot be undone: export first if you want to keep a copy.
