#3 has anybody done the pay route and gotten the process started--seen stuff moving over yet?
Yes, our group goes back fifteen years and had 1500 messages, they all transferred over, just took a few hours for them to show up.
?
#4 Does anybody know if we can start conversing on the new group if we intend to have our emails imported?
Would that mess up the transfer. Do we just sit and wait?
We started some test conversations before the transfer, no problems with that. I'm not sure if any were added during the transfer itself.
?
#5 will we have search ability for our archived Yahoo messages?
Yes, there is a search tab at the top of the messages page. I just tested it, picked a word that just appears in four of our 1500 messages and got the results instantly.

Unfortunately, our photos haven't come through yet, but I blame Yahoo for that. When we first did the transfer we couldn't see them at all, so I didn't expect them to come. But then they appeared again last night, we did a second transfer. We see placeholders for all the pictures and albums, but not populated. The photos appear again this morning in Yahoo, since I no longer have any pending transfers I'm going to try again.

On the transfer instruction page on groups.io it does give this message:
"Also note that it appears that most Photos sections are currently having an outage and it isn't known if they'll be restored prior to the deadline."
