Are there any reliable email providers any more?

All of the providers bounce messages for no apparent reason.

For lists that I consider to be important, I have at least three
subscriptions, from different email providers (^1) scattered across the
globe. It is very unusual for the same message to be bounced by all of
those providers.


^1: I don't look at the branding, but who runs the operations. As such,
AOL, Verizon, and BT are the same provider. Similarly, Yandex, and
Mail.RU are the same provider.

Re: Option not to receive own emails?

 

May?be it would help if the Filter text was changed with the group name in the subject line?? This should mean that only the incoming mail is going into the particular folder?? And while answering a post of course take the group name out of the subject line before sending.

Note that you can export your groups.io calendar to Google...just not the other way 'round.

Re: Harvesting email addresses

Thanks for your view on this, Shal.

Several people have complained already and I received it, too, so I will take upon myself to take care of it. I'll write to support (Mark?) and see what he suggests should be done. Maybe I? just need to write to the owner of that list and make him aware of the opposition to what he's doing.

Re: Harvesting email addresses

 

Debbie,

Does "[TOS prohibition on collecting email addresses]" include
harvesting email addresses to send them invitations to another
groups.io group?
I would think so, if the invitations would be considered "unsolicited" by the recipients.

Note that might not have an obvious interpretation; the group's culture and norms come into play. Some groups consider off-list contact between members to be entirely normal (and hence participation in the group constitutes tacit consent) while other groups consider off-list contact to be forbidden or even reprehensible.

And there can be cases in between. For example, when discussing things here in GMF I've been known to send a member of GMF an invitation to join my test group. Often I'll mention that on-list, but I can't say that I always do. Sometimes I just write a personal note into the invitation itself. One could argue that such invitations (or at least some of them) are unsolicited in that the GMF member did not explicitly ask for an invitation. I would assert that their assent to be invited, even if post-facto, is a reasonable inference from the conversation about resolving a particular question.

Note also that I think the wording here implies that the aggrieved party is the invitee, not the owner of the group whose members were targeted.

If so, is [email protected] the correct place to report it to?
Yes. The very last sentence of the TOS:
"Please contact us at [email protected] to report any violations of
these Terms of Service or to pose any questions regarding this Terms of
Service or the Service."

Re: Sub Group Question #subgroups

 

SIRMick,

1. Can I change the photo for the sub group?
Yes. Same as the primary group.

Visit the subgroup's Settings page, click on the Cover Photo tab.

2. Can I have different setting as regards membership to the main
group
Yes, the subgroup's settings are (nearly) independent of the primary group's settings.

Moreover, each subgroup member can have different subscription settings in each subgroup and the primary group.

Sub Group Question #subgroups

SIRMick
 

Hi,

We recently set up a main mailing list and a sub group.? I've been through all the setting but have a couple of question.

1.? Can I change the photo for the sub group?

2.? Can I have different setting as regards membership to the main group

I haven't been able to find anywhere that I can do this.

Thanks in advance


Re: Your Groups.io Account Is Bouncing

It happened because Spectrum felt that Groups.io was sending "too many messages" to accounts on their network.

Kathy,

I received the same message last week sometime. I reset my bounce but I don't see why it even happened in the first place.

Harvesting email addresses

debbie
 

Does "harvest or collect email addresses or other contact information of other users from the Service by electronic or other means for the purposes of sending unsolicited emails or other unsolicited communications" include harvesting email addresses to send them invitations to another group?

If so, is [email protected] the correct place to report it to?

Thanks,

Re: How do I transfer events from one calendar to another? #calendar #howto

 

Got it. Thank-you. Is there a central ¡°wishlist¡± where one could request such a feature, in some future update, from the powers that be? ;-)

Just the ability to import a file like that into the main calendar would be enough. Then, we could make the planning calendar in google or ical and import from there. (or out and back again)

Thanks!

Well, at the bottom of the planning calendar pages is a blue "Subscribe to Calendar" button. Clicking on that will give you a link to a page containing that calendar's events in iCalendar (.ics) file format.


But that's only half an answer, because I don't know of a way to then import that file into the main calendar.

Likewise one by one. In each event you can download it as an .ics file, but then there's still no way to import them into the main calendar.

Re: Instructions for New Members (not invited) Joining Group

 

Don,

Has anyone developed a complete "How Too" for persons who want to join
a group but who have not been previously invited?
Quite possibly. But it is so easy that I'd be concerned that a step-by-step would make it seem harder than it is.

If they only want to post and receive by email, use the +subscribe email command:
/static/help#emailcommands
It doesn't say there, but should, that they'll receive a confirmation notice from Groups.io, and they need to follow its instructions to confirm.

If they want to access the group's web pages, go to the group home page and scroll down to the blue "Join Group" button (unrestricted groups) or "Apply For Membership in This Group" button (restricted groups). Then follow the instructions.

Hopefully including how too set up a password.
/static/help#password

Note that a password is not required to log in. The member can opt to use the "Email me a link to log in" function instead.

Typically this comes about when a mail service has extended problems with its servers.?Per what Shal said, check your own mail delivery history to determine what response your provider (or intermediate server) may have sent to groups.io.

With that understanding, one has to wonder what other messages they may have failed to deliver to your inbox.?Such issues can be expected occasionally; but if the problem persists, the best long-term solution is to seek out a more reliable provider. I realize that sounds kinda glib, but it's the truth.

More information on this than you'd probably ever want to know can be found at?/static/help#bouncing?

I believe there may be a limit to how many you can add at one time without support's intervention. And support happens to be on vacation at the moment, with all that entails. See this thread on the topic.

Joseph,

So I'm wondering, is there a limit on how many addresses can be placed into the direct added functionality?

?I don't believe so. Or rather, if there is a limit it is likely much larger than 500.
?
?I don't currently have a Premium group, so I'm working from memory. Isn't there a result page, or tab on the Direct Add page, that will tell you what happened with each of the email addresses?

?Or maybe I'm thinking of the Members page, sorted by Joined date.

In any case, it is possible for a Direct Added ?email address to reject the "You've been added" notice and be immediately listed as a Bouncing address. I'm not aware of any reason why an address wouldn't be added at all, unless it were not syntactically correct.

How do I transfer events from one calendar to another? #calendar #howto

 

Hi,

I am a new owner/moderator for our homeschool group. ?We have created a planning calendar that is viewable by a subgroup. ?We would like to be able to upload/transfer the events on that planning calendar to the calendar for the main group 3 times each year. ?In other words, ideally a few people would be changing things and moving things around in the planning calendar for a while, then we could transfer all those planned events to the main calendar (viewed by the entire membership) all at once. ?Is this possible?

If not, is there a way to copy or transfer events one at a time from one calendar to another?

Thanks,
R Munson
