I'm aware of this app, thanks. I tried it (long ago), but stopped using it because sometimes the "Save" button doesn't light up after the download is finished (or I exit Chrome by mistake), and then I'd have to re-download all the messages, which meant that it became a bit of an effort to download more than a few hundred at a time.
The app's help file says you have to be a moderator or owner of the group whose messages you want to download, but that's not necessary with either method, except that e-mail addresses get munged.
If your goal is a migration to a Groups.io group keep your fingers crossed that the Easy Group Transfer </yahootransfer> mechanism is still operational when you decide to go for it.
Yes, we don't know how long it will still work. Tis a pity I missed the cut-off.
