Tiffiney -- You can set up a subgroup and disable virtually all of the features there (calendar, files, photos, wiki, databases, etc) in Settings. This might be useful to handle email traffic within a committee or board of directors or other subset of a larger group. Please note, however, that the retention of messages in the message archive of the subgroup cannot be disabled. If you want those to go away you'll have to periodically log in and delete them manually.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

I think the chat feature would be used more, if members knew someone wanted to chat. What about the idea of the chat tab changing color or blinking when the chat room was in use?

It looks like you have at your mailhoster setup a forward to this old address. This is not a groups.io problem, but some setting at your mail service.

Tiffiney,

I suspect the answer is no - I had a quick look at a couple of options? but no go. Any particular reason you didn't want to set up a subgroup? Slightly awkward I admit, as you'd have to invite members (assuming you make it a restricted group not listed in the parent)...

Edit - the invite process would only be needed if you're using a basic rather than premium group.

Further... If I type in that tgi@...?address on all the affected groups I get "tgi@... not subscribed in groups.io"

Not an owner or moderator. It occurs in all the groups I subscribe to, including this one I just subscribed to minutes ago. The message I sent above bounced with this notation...

10:45am

reply to sender/group

5.1.1 smtp; 550 5.1.1 [R2] Recipient tgi@... does not exist here.

If this is after a transfer, that address was probably stored in the YG information and got transferred with all the rest.? If you're the group owner (or moderator with permission) you can look in the Member list to find that email address.? If it shows up, you can delete that member entry.

Herb --?The reply-to setting you put in your group affects only the Reply-To: field in the outgoing message header. If your email client fails to honor that convention, then it may instead send your response to the From: address.

You also didn't say whether you receive messages as individual emails or as a digest. It matters.

Many people here use Thunderbird and I'm sure someone will step up and tell you what settings you can change to get it to operate properly.

Bruce

I keep getting bounced email notices, although I seem to get all the messages. The bounce notice is an email address not associated currently with my groups.io account. It's an address that I had used years ago.? Why are emails being sent to this non-existant email address ?? I'd just let the bounce process go on until no email is sent to that address, but it seems like it's assocyaed with my current account and I don't want that account affected ?

Regards,

Mike

If you transfer to separate groups, then yes.? If you transfer to a main group and a subgroup, then no.

My club, GBAEC (Greater Boston Area Earthdog Club) has a Yahoo email for the general membership and one for the board.? Would we be charged the $220 twice to convert over to Groups IO?? We did a test run with you last year and unfortunately, never signed up. Other things seemed more important at the time.? Now of course we are under the gun much like you.
We are a small club with limited funds but we do maintain a website with GoDaddy.? I as President, along with my board, am trying to figure out the best vehicle for our file storage.

Larry... For fun I gave this a try. Set group policy on emails to "Reply to Sender". Send an email from my Thunderbird client to the group. When I received the message, it had two issues: (1) When I hit Reply in Thunderbird it set up the message to reply to the GROUP, not me the sender (2) The options at the bottom of the message still only had the limited set (View/Reply online, Mute, Group Owner, Unsubscribe), So, as a result I still had no way to reply to sender. BUT, when I log-in the groups.io and reply to a message there then poof the reply goes to the sender. So, the group policy on replies seems to only affect someone logged in to groups.io. We really need to have this working externally in one's email client!

How can I get the right people's attention on this?

-Herb

actually I found the bank entity.. it's Stripe, that is where the $4.75 of the $5.00 is sitting.? ?I still have the question, for anyone who has tried... Is Stripe effective for the group to make easy donations?? (??

I like the idea of having the Open Donation tab right there on the home page fo the group.? But People are so used to Paypal.? ???? ?Am I gonna get results with Stripe vs Paypal.? ? ?

Thanks again.? Dale.

Can you? check your old pre NEO account to see if you get medsages ther? And chevk to see if the message to owner went there or to another email account you have, possibly in spam?

Can you see the membership list to see who is owner?
Or other email addresses you might have used with the group?

Whichever account set the group up is owner unless you made a
new account owner.

I cannot find any info on this in the Help files..? so I must ask for help from anyone with experience..? ??I have around 3000 members in my group and anticipate I can get donations from maybe 200-300 of them.? Amounts of $10 to 25 to 50 dollars generally, per year.

First of All Groups.IO wants 5% of donations, as a processing fee.. is this fair?? Or should I use Paypal ?

I have set up my Premium Group to Receive Donations though, to test it out.? ?I made a test donation of $5. to my group from my wifes credit card.? I hooked up my bank account to the Groups.IO Money recieving entity (which I forgot the name of).

Anyways, Under my name, Accounts, I do see the Donation as being recieved under Billing.? ?But Where is the money?? ?There should be an account balance somehwere I would imagine, with a balance of $4.75? ( $5. less 5%).? ?? Can't find it.. I did get an email from Groups.io telling me I got a donation of $5. but there is no link to any banking system...??? ? ?I need help figuring out how to get the Money from my Groups.IO balance (whereever that is).. into my personal bank account.? Are there detailed instructions somewhere I am missing?

Thank you for sharing any experience you have on this.?

hi folks,

my plan is to move an elder German Yahoo group to another place -
"groups.io" looks very promising - unfortunately many elder people
didn't have the opportunity to learn English at public school - is it
possible to select the German language somewhere in the user interface
of "groups.io"?

Hi, Ralf,
we are a German group, too, and we found a way to make it easier for our members to interact with the English-language group. If you want me to explain details, write me a p.m.

Is it possible to create a sub email group only. Meaning I don't want to create a whole entire complete subgroup site, I just want to create a sub email group and put individuals into that email group so that emails can be sent and received to only a subset of members.

[Subject line enhanced by Moderator]

Folks -- Mark has recently changed the terminology used for progress through the transfer queue (i.e.: after you have already "Given the Go-Ahead to Transfer"). Your groups will now proceed through this queue in terms of "stages" instead of "steps." See??for details.

This is to avoid confusion with the process of actually setting up a transfer as outlined on the page found at?/yahootransfer. Nothing has really changed, only the terminology.?

Please note the distinction:? "Steps" suggests some action that you need to take to get things set up, while proceeding through the subsequent "stages" involves simply waiting for your already-set-up transfer to complete. If we can agree to use this terminology going forward, hopefully it will mitigate some of the current ambiguity.

Thanks,
Bruce
