So, once an old Yahoo Groups list member has been transferred, and they get this notification email, how do they create their password, to complete their new account?
I send this out as the first message to the Group
[be sure to fill in all the < >s for your group)
Subject: <Groups.io Title> transferred to Groups.io YYYY.MM.DD
<Group.io Title> members,
The transfer from YahooGroups to Groups.io has happened.
Everyone and everything (except Attachments) should have been transferred, however I haven't checked it yet.
IF YOU JUST WANT TO RECEIVE AND SEND MESSAGES, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING.
Except from now on post messages to:
<Group.io Email Address>
The new website for the email List is:
<Group.io Email List website>
IF YOU WANT TO ACCESS THE NEW EMAIL LIST'S WEBSITE:
1) go to: <Group.io Email List website>
2) click on "Log In If You Are Already A Member"
3) enter your email address
4) click on "Forgot your password, or don't have one yet?"
5) click on the 'loginlink' in an automated "Link to log into Groups.io" email that will be sent to you
6) create a password and click on "Set Password" [TIP: write down you Password]
7) click on "<Group.io Title>" in the next webpage AND YOU'RE DONE and IN THE WEBSITE
I believe we will appreciate that Groups.io is easier to use and more reliable.
Questions, please ask me,
If you find something missing, please tell me,
Thanks,
<Owner(s)' name(s)>
<Group.io Owner's Email Address>
The old YahooGroups email List and website still exist as a back-up archive just in case something wasn't transferred. All email addresses are set to Moderation, as posts should now be sent to the new address <Group.io Email Address>, however this setting permits you to still view old messages on the YahooGroups website:
<old YahooGroup website>
If you do try to post to the old address, I will reminder you of the information above.
Please remember to reach current members at their current email addresses, use the current (new - Groups.io ) address and/or website.
