We had a lot of useful material on the Yahoo Groups discussion that .

Interesting that archive.org was able to scrape some of these groups and retrieve messages with full email addresses. I thought you had to be a group admin to do that.

But this backup is just plain text and it is not simple for people to search on that discussions or even be indexed by Google.

The archive I just downloaded contained content from 41 separate OS/2-related groups. Of those that archive.org was able to get any messages, they seem to be in mbox format, and some of the messages within are in html.?

My question, is there any way, or experience on migrating this Yahoo Groups backup text backup into Groups.io? The idea will be to create a read only group to show the messages in an organized way and that can be searchable.

You might try posting a private message to Mark Fletcher ([email protected]). In the past, he has been willing to manually import such files in exchange for a year of Premium ($220 per group).

You could try also using Lena's Perl script (/g/GroupManagersForum/message/22251) to re-post the messages to a group or subgroup. The script itself is available at /g/GroupManagersForum/files/ioimport.zip That approach would be free, but it runs at 40 messages/hour, and I have never been able to get it to work. I didn't try very hard, though.

See also /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/15860 . Some of the info therein is out of date.
