IOmails were going into spam in my gmx-mailbox as well. So I whitelisted "@groups.io". This was sufficient.

May be this works for mail.com as well?

Many greetings

Frustrating.
Yes.

The problem is not unique to GMail. Many webmail providers and email clients do this by default. And it's even more frustrating as a Moderator, when every email address you've ever used to approve a message magically lands among your Contacts.

Question for the collective brain - have any of you dealt with this same problem? Is there an easy way to tell the gmail users what to do to fix this?

Whether it is "easy to tell" to people is another story. I'll let you make that call.

Re: Yahoo Group Description field on the ABOUT page [we've moved billboard] #yahoo

 

SamiJo,?

I'm the OP on this thread.? The trhead was created to HELP STOP folks from using the old Yahoo email and focus on GroupsIO.? :)

So, having the YG Description field with bold color text and even a clickable link to get to your GroupsIO page is the way to setup the YG Description page.?

AND the other trick is to have an automated email sent out to the old YG folks to UNSUBSCRIBE from there and JOIN your GIO here. :)?? You can set this up in outlook OR from what I'm understanding in the GIO calendar to send out a notice to the the old YG to post directly to them.?

This way, it's nearly all automatic after it's setup and working. :)

Each person can set that in their Account settings under Items Per Page - 20, 50, 100, or infinite scroll.? Be aware that infinite scroll doesn't work on some pages though.

Gmail List subscribers, list and +owner addresses #gmail

 

Hi folks,

We recently moved our group (westorangeshuls) over from Yahoo go groups.io (along many, many others). We didn't do a group transfer, because we wanted to use the opportunity to clean up our group membership list.

I modified the pending subscription message to instruct the new list members to reply to the message with information about themselves, so our moderators could verify and approve as appropriate. This means that most of our users wound up sending a message to [email protected]?when they sent that message.

All OK so far. But now, many of those gmail users are having trouble sending list message to our regular list address ([email protected]). I'm pretty sure this is because gmail stores the +owner address in the automatically saved addresses, but associates the +owner address with the list name. So the user goes to compose a message to [email protected],?and it?looks like it's going there, but it's actually going to [email protected].

Frustrating.

Question for the collective brain - have any of you dealt with this same problem? Is there an easy way to tell the gmail users what to do to fix this? Unfortunately many of our users are not super tech savvy, so they have trouble figuring it out for themselves.

Thanks for any thoughts or ideas!

it skipped more than 2000 messages!
I fixed these two bugs. Please download the program again.

(Luckily I had made a subgroup for testing the program!)
Already imported messages are skipped by groups.io if you try to import them again into the same group or subgroup. Perhaps you'll have to delete that test subgroup and create it again.

Also, delete the imported.txt file.

Nope.? When the information was downloaded from the YG, that's all that was uploaded to GIO.? If any messages after that showed up, someone was sending them to GIO.

Re: BATCH CHANGE of Posting Privileges

 

I'm sure there was no forwarding of mail from Yahoo to Groups.io. However, if people were still posting to the Yahoo list they would have gotten messages from there as well as from the new Groups.io list. Transferring to Groups.io didn't removed them from the Yahoo list, so if it is still active they can still send and receive messages from the Yahoo list. That could cause some confusion.

Yes, the wording was hashed and rehashed on the beta group a few years ago.? I believe it was decided that the information presented there and in the group settings was clear enough.? You'd need to bring this up on that group in order for anyone from management to see it.

Unless you can get the information from the YG, as Frances has shown, it's gone.? You didn't pay for your group, so any invitation was ignored.? There was a very detailed step-by-step procedure that you obviously didn't follow. All of the YG transfers by GIO ended on Dec 5.

Is it possible the posts that are going thru without moderation are being sent

An yahooGroup as a whole could be moderated or not. When Verizon shut down Files, Conversations etc., they changed every group to unmoderated. I changed my groups back to moderated in Management - Control Panel - Group Settings. I don't see this option anymore. In Management - Manage Members too. It looks like message moderation is abolished entirely.


Re: Approve and unmoderate senders not working

 

John,

I completely understand, and also agree that having the group setting is easier in the long run, but the problem still remains, if a group wants to have a moderated default group setting to make sure nothing falls through the cracks, then the approve and unmoderate button is not then doing its intended function.

I mean, to me at least, the way it works (differently depending on default group setting), can be confusing/misleading.

Cheers,
Christos


Re: Help - Thought I moved over but I see I did not

 

The wiki page I posted about - and is in my footer has this:

Yahoo Download Requests
?
Yahoo has extended the last call for download requests to January 31, 2020 at 11:59pm PST (2019-12-15 07:59 UTC). Read a copy of the notice on Y!GMF. (And revised date - https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN31010.html )
?
The strength of the Yahoo method is that it retrieves a full copy of your groups' messages, in mbox format, which can be opened and uploaded or imported later. A weakness of this method is that it doesn't seem to reliably include all of any other type of content (Files, Photos, Attachments, Links, Databases). It does not include the groups' Members list nor its Calendar entries. The mbox files it delivers only have placeholders for the attachments, they are delivered separately.
?
To do this you must sign in to Yahoo as at least a member of the group in question. Yahoo will ask you to re-confirm your sign-in credentials each time you visit this page (first to request the download, then to download it when ready): https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/getmydata You will be given a link to one or more zip files to download, the mbox files for your group's messages will be nested within (one of) those zip files. You must request the download by January 31 2020 in order for your request to be honored.
?
How to download content from Yahoo - see /g/GroupManagersForum/message/19430?

Just wondering whether perhaps Mark (Groups.io) has your data and hasn't assigned it to your group in Groups.io.

If you didn't actually trigger the transfer, you have still have some options.?
