Lisa -- The archive is exported in mbox format. It is readable using any text editor, but not is very friendly. I believe you can open it in Thunderbird and a few other desktop email clients, but have not actually tried it.
2. ?If our ?io,groups members want to just use the service to send from and receive in their email program, is that possible, or do users have to use the web interface?
If all you want to do is communicate by email, it is not necessary to ever log into the groups.io web interface.
3. ?If we use the io.groups migration service year one, I understand the annual fee is $220. ?Then can we go back to free in subsequent years?
Yes, assuming that after that one-year period your group storage remains under the 1GB allocation available to Basic groups. Otherwise at that point you will find yourself unable to upload any further such content to the group.
