Re: Where do [email protected] go?
Jim,
Yes, now I see that in our group, it looks like incoming messages toThe Subject text in the log is a link to the stored message, but only if the message was from a member of the group. I don't recall at the moment whether storing the content from non-members was discussed. If I had to guess they aren't because the storage is associated with the Member's subscription. Also, spam from non-members might be a concern. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: Where do [email protected] go?
Jim,
Do emails to [email protected] get archived on the siteThey can be found in the group's Activity log; select "Message to +owner" as the Action then click Search. They are also stored in the "+Owner Messages" tab of each sending member's entry in the Members list. or are they only forwarded to owners but aren't stored?They are forwarded to all owners and moderators, subject to each owner/mod's Subscription setting for receiving them.

Re: Understanding message in Email Delivery History
Yvette,
The most important part of the message is "Successful Delivery" - the subscriber's mail service accepted the message.? The details are interesting but of no real concern as the message has been delivered and is now in the subscriber's "hands" so to speak.? If you need to follow up with the subscriber/applicant, a direct email is best - either from your email or the Send Message function on the member's page on groups.io. Toby |

Re: Understanding message in Email Delivery History
Yvette, Response In computer terms a queue does not imply a human-perceptible delay. More to the point, a code beginning with 2 means success, no further intervention is required. The statement "Queued mail for delivery" may be technically accurate, but completely meaningless to users: the mail probably passed through that queue and reached the member's Inbox in a fraction of a second.
No, the Email Delivery History is only about outbound messages, from the group to the members. Problems related to inbound messages will show up in the group's Activity Log. Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

Re: Understanding message in Email Delivery History
This means that outlook accepted the email from your group and has queued it for delivery to the person.? How long it's held is anyone's guess.? If the inbox were full, it would be a different code number instead of 2.6.0, probably 4.2.2 or 5.2.2.? I don't know that it's the best source, but there's a decent explanation at http://emailaddressmanager.com/tips/codes.html

Re: email to text
Paul, we get a 505 error when trying to invite??970541xxxx@...? to support email to text.? Others?have had problems using email-to-text gateways with Groups.io. I don't know if they were able to resolve the problems. Apparently different carriers' gateways behave differently. See
also the search results in GMF for "gateway". Shal -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

The links should be permanent for the same subject(s) that still needs addressing, only the explanation should be updated. Misnamed Wikis should contain a link (or links) to its/their replacement. Permanent links would be more helpful for users, plus Owners/Moderators and GMF might not have to deal with those receptive inquiries. Wikis are only required for what is not clear, nor intuitive. |

Re: So no PRIVATE MESSAGING, right? Any hope it will be implemented?
Janie, Disappointed upon searching that PM's don't exist in the IO Groups, right? So the members simply email each other? Members can initiate PM's to other members via the group's Directory - if the Directory is enabled in the group and if the member you wish to contact has opted to make his/her profile available to other members. This method sends an email to the other member, without you (the sender) needing to know the other member's address. But your address will be exposed to the other member (the email will be From your address) so that the other member can reply to you privately, by email. As Bruce mentioned, there is (as yet?) no Inbox or other means to receive such private messages within the Groups.io web interface. So you can only initiate the private conversation here, replies must go through email.

Re: Is there anyway to change the display of postings to show the Posting number first in the threads?
Joe, I see what you're trying to do.? I do that a lot to capture and work with data.? But groups.io is not displaying a tabular view with columns so it's gonna be hard to capture what you want in a way that works (to load into a spreadsheet for example).
Best bet is to find an mbox to csv converter like this ->? (I googled 'read mbox excel' to find it, there may be others) Toby |
