Re: mail problems after transfer from Yahoo groups #post-transfer #yahoo
|
Su, A member now writes to say that her Yahoo email account (with which she was subscribed to the old Yahoo group and which was brought over to the new one here) suddenly stopped working for her to send email. She writes: If she's signed in to that Yahoo Mail account it can't be unable to find "my mail address". She must mean some other address - perhaps the group posting address, or one of her other email addresses. ? But I did get the .io mails on my yahoo account. I just couldn¡¯t respond to them. Ok, that's more along the lines I was thinking - it is the email address she's sending To that Yahoo is complaining about. The most likely thing is that she is misspelling the group's posting address. I've sent a test message to her Yahoo email account to see if it does in fact receive incoming email. You should already know the answer. That is, if her Yahoo Mail inbound were somehow disabled you should have promptly received a notice from your own email service telling you that delivery failed. I've also asked the group owner to remove her yahoo email subscription since she has now subscribed with a different email addy. That may not have been a kindness. That is, any content (files, photos, etc) she had uploaded to the Yahoo Group would have transferred over connected to her Yahoo Mail address; meaning that she would retain the ability to edit or delete them, as long as she logged in to Groups.io with the Yahoo Mail address. Her better move would have been to log in with the Yahoo Mail address, and in its Account page change its address to her new preferred address. I think that would change the ownership of her content to the new address. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |
