randsjmj,
Maybe change all Y!group /No Email/ to Special Notices
What is the best way to do this? (I guess this is really a yahoo
question. I did try searching online but no luck.)
So far as I know you have to do them one by one. But if your Groups.io group is going to be set to Disallow No Email then you needn't do this, unless it is to ensure that they receive the "we're moving" announcement in the Y!Group.
What I did instead was export the Y!Group members list as CSV (these were groups of fewer than 1000 members) and open that in Excel. This let me sort the list by the Delivery column. Then in the "Email" column I selected all the addresses belonging no No Email members and copied them. I then pasted that list of addresses into a BCC on a message I sent to them off-list (with my Gmail account). Because each group had only a few dozen No Email members that wasn't disallowed by Gmail. If you have hundreds that might be a different story.
As a footnote: I had previously removed the Bouncing addresses from the list in excel. Nevertheless several of the "No Email" addresses bounced when I sent to them by Gmail. I suspect that Y!Groups detection of bad addresses is less than fully reliable.
For a different reason I set all No Email members to Moderated in the Y!Group. That I did have to do one by one via the Manage Members list, but having them sorted out in Excel made that easier.
