Hi Team,
I am a member of a number of groups and moderator of one. A couple of days ago I set up a new group and was therefore the owner. Over the years I have 2 different emails registered on my groups which often meant I received duplicate emails. One of those addresses is just a re-direction service to the first. The redirection service email it turned out was the one I used to set up the new group. Once it was approved (yesterday)? I added another person to the group who I made an admin. Once we had agreed on a list of people to join I was set then to start adding people. But then I discovered that I couldn't send email from my mail client on my desktop because it was coming from my primary address and not the redirection one. So, I thought I would try to fix all of that and hopefully resolve the duplicate emails. I tried adding my primary as an alias but the system reported it was already there? so then I found I could merge the two accounts and one would be deleted...so I went down that track only to discover I was now no longer the owner of the group I had just set up. I have emailed the only other member to ask them to add me as an admin but must be a way of getting ownership of the group back.
Sorry for the convoluted email and hope you can understand what has happened and give me a way forward.
John
