Spica Speakers Group,

Since I have successfully exported and downloaded my Yahoo group, can
you import from my downloaded file or do you need to make a direct
connection as outlined in the FAQ?

The formal mechanism required a direct copy from the Yahoo Group.

However Mark has indicated they can import message content in mbox file format, likely requiring the same $220 upgrade to Premium Yearly. I believe the Yahoo getmydata download is in the correct mbox format.


The alternatives are Lena's program (free) to re-post mbox downloads, and Wilson's planned PGO-2-GIO program ($50 and up) to re-post PGO downloads. Both suffer the defect that the reposted messages appear under the From address of the person doing the reposting, and at the current date, rather than the original From address and message Date.

okay to be "honest" the owner made me a moderator 6+ years ago and has
since disappeared. All attempts to reach him have thus far failed.

I'd say your position as moderator qualifies you to make this decision on behalf of your group's members, no less than the mods who happen to have the privilege to promote the transfer agent.

I'm not as concerned about potential legal challenges to moving a group to Groups.io. I think that line was crossed when Groups.io decided to create the transfer process in the first place. Accomplishing it by other means does not seem (to me) to change why or how a plaintiff would lodge the complaint nor how Groups.io would handle it.
