Re: Can group owner change a members email-address?


 

Victoria,

So I understand, that if these people stay logged in at groups.io,
even after their yahoo-address has been disabled, they can still read
files and messages.
Short answer: don't do that.

If you are logged in at groups.io and the email address in your account is no longer working change it to a working address. Now.
/account

Long answer:

I don't have any email addresses in bouncing status, so I can't say that I've verified this. I /think/ the Groups.io web interface will allow them to participate, with only a warning box. I could be wrong, the web interface may require them to cure the bounce status before participating.

Even if they can continue to participate, they are at risk. If they are logged in to Groups.io they should go to their Account page change their email address to a working address as soon as practical.

One risk is that if they forget their Groups.io password they won't be able to reset it without receiving the email for the password reset.

Another risk is that if Groups.io needs to send them any account-related notice, they won't receive it. I can't think of a specific example at the moment, but there could be a circumstance that requires attention.

Of less concern, but still annoying is that they won't receive any rejection notices sent by the group moderators, nor any notice if someone edits a message they posted, nor any any other attempted off-list message from mods or members.

What happens if still being logged in they try to reply to a message
online?
As I said earlier, I /think/ they can still do that, but I haven't tested it to be sure.

And after they did this, can they still read in groups.io as long as
they don?t log out?
They can log out and back in again, providing that they have set a Groups.io password and they still remember it.
