Ken,
The email address that GIO uses to create the new GIO account is
the one they used for their Yahoo group account.? Many of us (me
included) do not use a yahoo account for that.? My yahoo account
is tied to my own email address (not my yahoo email address).? My
yahoo account simply gets my facebook notices so I never even look
at it.? If you used a hotmail account to create your yahoo profile
then that is the address that gets used and as such is the address
that GIO uses to create the account at groups.io...if you do not
already have an account (many of us do since we are members of
many groups).
Yes you as the requester and owner can choose to exclude members
but why would you want to?? If you do that then that is going to
create a BIG problem because Mark has to first create members at
GIO before bringing over emails because those emails get
accredited to the original owner and if the original owner account
does not get created then there is a problem.? Membership creation
is the first step in the process and for good reason.? One fly in
that ointment is that email accounts get created for those members
of the yahoo group that are not listed in bounce status.? Also
files and photos copied over are also listed as being owned by the
original owner/poster and if they are not members (yet) then those
files become listed as owned by you (the listed group owner).
Maybe that is not what you were asking but I hope that clarifies
things.

Question:
Can we use the automatic transfer to bring over everything
except members? We have already started rolling over members
manually and most members don't want a Yahoo email associated
with their
??account. It might?also
be very confusing?since 50% of our members have already migrated
to our new group.
thanks,
ken
