Do persons have to be members of the groups.io main group before their Yahoo group membership can be transferred from the Yahoo group into the groups.io sub-group?
I hope I asked this right. As:
Yahoo group?????????????????? Groups-io group???????????? Groups.io sub-group
Bill Smith???????????????????????? Bill Smith???????????????????????? Bill Smith???????????????????????????????? Would transfer correctly (though NoMail perhaps in main group)
Jim Jones??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? Jim Jones??????????????????????????? ? ?? Would not transfer correctly
Yes, members must be transferred to the main group from YG.?
They retain their same subscription when they are transferred to Groups.io, except "no mail" is transferred to Special notices only.
I believe this is only if you have disallowed no mail on your Groups.io group.
(I do - otherwise it isn't possible to send the very occasional email to everyone in your group without sending out individual or bcc emails or some other workaround.)
All of your main group people will be viewed available for direct adding to your subgroup. Go to Admin in the subgroup, and Direct Add. Check boxes beside all names with a button "+add members".
