Where to change notification settings?
Hello everyone
A new user joined, and as moderator I got a notification via e-mail about it (I'm happy with that). The notification says: To turn off this notification, log into and edit your subscription. However, it gives no clue as to *where* in the subscription these notifications can be turned off (and presumably turned on). I visited what I suspect are all tabs, but could not find it. Can anyone tell me? Thanks Samuel |

Re: personal email in the footer next to unsubscribe

Do I really need to use a different email to login to my groups to keep my personal address out of the footer [next to unsubscribe]?1. The e-mail address next to "Unsubscribe" is the e-mail address of the recipient, not the sender. You'll see your own e-mail address also at the bottom of mails that other people sent to this or your list (and the other people see their own addresses there). It took me a while to figure it out, though: that e-mail address is the e-mail address that you (the recipient) is subscribed with. 2. The sender's e-mail address is noted in the "Reply to sender" link. 3. With my Yahoo and Google groups where I'm the owner or moderator, I'm always subscribed using a separate e-mail address. It helps keep things separate. 4. Are you asking if it could be possible to set multiple "FROM" addresses in the web version of Groups.io and then make it possible to select a FROM address from a dropdown list whenever you send an e-mail (similar to how it would work in an e-mail program where you can select the FROM address that you're sending a reply from)?

Re: Members log in issue
A confirmation email is sent when someone applies to a group with an email address that does not currently have a groups.io account.?The purpose of the confirmation email is to demonstrate that the person who applied (usually via the "join this group" link on the home page) actually owns the email address they entered and wants to receive groups.io emails there.
This email will contain a link that she needs to click on to get out of "Not Confirmed" status. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Status-Badges-in-the-Members-List?for further details. You can send a new confirmation email for her. To do this, open her user record in your group's Member's List and click on the corresponding button. But as Chris mentioned, she needs to quit changing her email address and confirm one of them. Without knowledge of what kind of mess she may have created, it's hard to know if it will actually work. Hope this helps, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help |

personal email in the footer next to unsubscribe
Do I really need to use a different email to login to my groups to keep my personal address out of the footer?
I started a groups.io for my sons school. Now 600+ families see my personal email address in the footer of school wide emails. I also started one for a sister school (another 700+ families) and lastly a bulletin board for both schools (1300+ families and alumni a whopping 2100+ families) HELP! |

Re: Email Overload
Nobe,
I'm not seeing anything new in either of my Gmail accounts, I think you may have simply opened something that was already there: Those items under Categories are just different collections of messages from your Inbox. They aren't duplicates of your Inbox messages, just another way of searching for them.
What do you mean by "bounce"? Do you mean that you attempted to send a message to a group and it "bounced" back? Or do you mean that you aren't receiving messages from your groups? Gmail has truly enormous storage limits so it is fairly unlikely that your Inbox would be full. For what it is worth, your address hasn't bounced any messages from GMF. I can't tell about your other group subscriptions, but you can by visiting the Recent Bounces page of your Groups.io Account. Report back here what it tells you there, particularly in the Reason column, if there are any Recent Bounces listed.
Probably. But it is likely easier to just hide them by clicking that little triangle to the left of the word Categories. This is not a Groups.io issue, so you probably want to find a Gmail support forum where you can ask questions about Gmail.

Re: What is "Create a receive-only email" option?
Bob, It actually creates a direct, private, one way channel into a group from the email address of the first email received through it to the group, according to your description above. Duane has done some testing today that belies my description. I thought I had tested this behavior but instead they do seem to accept messages from all senders. I'm not sure if there is more to the story or if I have been simply wrong about that.

Shal, it would seem that a more accurate & descriptive name is needed to self-describe how this works.I think I got it: it is "receive-only" from the group's perspective. It is "send-only" from the human's perspective. I tend to think human. :-) Samuel |

Re: What is "Create a receive-only email" option?
Samual, Do you mean that non-members can post messages to my group if they send their e-mail to the One specific non-subscriber address per integration. On first use the integration remembers the sending address and thereafter accepts messages only from that address. It does not create an open portal that could be used by anyone knowing the integration address. ? So its like a one-direction subscription Correct, mostly Unlike an ordinary subscription, the sender uses this integration address to post to the group, not the group's normal posting address. And unlike an ordinary subscription, the group admin who sets it up doesn't need to know the actual sending address in advance. What sort of situations would one use this for? As Bruce said, the primary application is for posting notices from automated services, the key factor being that the sender doesn't have to be subscribed to the group (which can be tricky to achieve when dealing with a send-only address). It could in principle be used for announcements from an individual (human) sender, but that case would more normally be handled by subscribing the person to the group, perhaps set No Email.
