Re: Transferring Yahoo group after October 28


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I have now migrated all my member's emails to the new group and invited them to join. That's all working fine. I also uploaded my photos and files. My final hurdle is getting the messages (conversations) into my groups.io group.

There are over 3000 posts, and the download from Yahoo consists of two large mbox format files, where all the messages, with addresses, headers, etc. are all sequentially displayed with about 1500 messages in each single mbox message.

I clearly need to have a way to parse these and reformat the output to match groups.io. I was able to extract the email address using a similar technique, but it was far simpler, and I don't know exactly what groups.io needs. Is there a sample at groups.io of what the upload file should look like to import messages.

Thanks for the hint, but I tried three browsers and deleted cookies and still no dice. I was able to download the data from all my groups for safe keeping, though, so I should be OK.

Larry,

In the last two days, I experienced the same lack of access to my Yahoo group management functions that you describe. I resolved it accidentally by clicking to another Yahoo group I moderate and saw that I had access to management functions on that group. So I clicked back to the first group and my management functions reappeared.

This leads me to suggest that you log out of yahoo, clear your browser cache and log back in. Or try a different browser or from a different device. If you know how to remove just the Yahoo cookies ?€¡± which is a different process for each browser ?€¡± you could try that as well, then log back in.

Well, this is strange. I still can't gain access to my own group "Management" functions, but I was able to request and receive a download of all my groups, even the ones that I'm just a member of. There is a folder for each group, with sub-folders for files and messages, but not for photos and attachments. Only the downloads for groups with owner privileges included photos. That's not a huge deal since I can manually download the photos without owner privileges, and there aren't that many of them.

At least now I can restore all the members and invite them to join the new group, and I guess I can upload the files and photos.

Better than nothing, but I wasted the fee for the yearly upgrade since I couldn't use it. Had I known at the time, I would have created a master group, and put everything else in subgroups.
