Yes, there was a "cleansing" by Yahoo some years ago.? If anyone knows the exact date, that might help others to avoid an ulcer. ;>)

A second transfer attempt with only Photos selected has worked.? The only rub is the first attempt had populated the Photos section with empty markers for each photo...which were not deleted when the new ones were loaded.

I'm not going to complain about this at this point, at least the photos did transfer the second time.? I have started a third transfer to get the files over, hopefully that will be as successful!

Thanks guys!

Same to me. I have an old yahoo account, my login isn't an email address, its a name. PG Offline don't work with this.

I had to set up a new account at yahoo, with this account it works like a charm.

I allreaddy made a backup for myself of 5 groups without any issues.

So my panic settle to loose all this stuff...

A fast and stable internetconnection helps for my opinion.

It looks normal to me that some old attachements could not be transfered. But I talk about attachements from 2003 to 2006. This don't hurt me.

No, each account can only receive messages at one address.? You can have multiple addresses (aliases) for sending replies/messages.

Hey Tim,

Extending what Duane wrote above, if you have users who'd like to have the email sent to additional accounts, have them set up an email rule on their email client (e.g. Outlook, GMail, etc.).? The rule would also forward group.io email to one or more accounts.

Cheers!

Maybe if you give an example of what you mean, we could offer tips.

Anthony -- I have no familiarity with groupspaces, but a list of all accepted groups.io update proposals can be found on the groups.io Trello board at?

When/if these updates could occur is anyone's guess...some have been on this board for years. I do think it's safe to say that nothing like this is going to happen in the next two months.

I have paid the yearly fee for my Yahoo Group to be transferred to groups.io. ? This includes the transfer of my membership. ?

1. Will my transferred members be automatically Registered as users for groups.io?

IF MY transferred members ARE NOT automatically able to LOG IN,?
what must my members do in order to access the groups.io website?

Thanks

Or if they do happen to sign up with the same email, would it somehow find their old messages??

IMHO this topic is generating more than enough unnecessary and avoidable confusion. It will be much better to allow a full migration of members and sort out any anomalies afterwards.?

A transfer from a Yahoo group should ideally start with nobody but the owner who set up the group within Groups.io in that recipient group. Yahoo vaguaries willing everything is then migrated from the old host to the new. OK; some members might not want to continue using a Yahoo email address, but there is nothing to stop them merging (as outlined above)? or even members simply editing the email address of the Account in question. N.B: email addresses are an Account level feature, not a Group level one.

I can accept that the entire migration process can be a little nail - biting, with all sorts of "unknowns" (real or peceived) to deal with; why then add to the potential for confusion by tinkering with email addresses at the same time??

At the risk of repeating myself leave things as they are until the transfer has been completed, then and only then look to see what member - level changes are required.

I paid for the group's transfer and had made the groupsio transfer a moderator of our yahoo group. After 24 hours I have checked the groups messages etc but nothing is showing up.

Chris -- Did you ever click on the "Give Go Ahead to Transfer" button?

To check status, go back to the transfer page?/yahootransfer and select (click on) the group name from the Existing Transfers menu at bottom right. What does it say at the top of the resulting page??

And if you haven't clicked the button yet, this is where you do it.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Thanks. So is it just that they wouldn’t be able to claim ownership of their past messages? Or if they do happen to sign up with the same email, would it somehow find their old messages??

I don’t know how big a deal this would be, just don’t want all the messages to look like they came from one of the group owners.?

As Shal mentioned, the subdomain addressing is an artifact of subgroups. However, any EMAIL posted to groupname(at)groups(dot)io should still go to the main group.

In short, it should still work. Try it.

Is it true that the summary contains only the first few words of each message and not the whole message?

It contains a list of topics with new posts, and a list of those who have posted to each topic.

Does it work that way regardless of how many messages are within a summary?? I'm uncertain what is true and what is untrue about any of this.

A Daily Summary contains no messages, just topics.?

Sometimes the best way to find out things like this is to try it and see. But for the benefit of you and others, I've attached a screenshot.

It should show the actual name/id of the poster.

It's possible to merge two accounts, such as the Yahoo email address and their current email address, if you/they want to do that.? In that case, you could have members copied as well.

Just to follow up. Our planned transfer was also to just move message history over and not our members since a majority of our users created yahoo accounts to use yahoo groups. It made it difficult to track members as it would be different from their paid membership emails. ?Some had linked to yahoo profiles while others hadn’t, it was all over the place. ?I was kind of hoping for a clean slate.

so when moving message history over, would all of those messages point to the group owner as the person who posted it? ?We don’t have many files or attachments on this group. It’s just really the message history we wanted to preserve. ?I’m just wondering if we need to update our transfer to do members also. ?

thanks for your help!

No.? You could use one of the 3rd party programs to download the messages, but there's no way to insert them into the group here.

We only want to transfer the messages from Yahoo to groups.io.? Is there a way to do this manually?? Our group is small and doesn't have the spare funds to do it automatically.

Can I ask what happens when there are members of both groups, are they duplicated if the email addresses/names are identical in both groups, please?

An email address is only added once to the main group.

Wait patiently.? As you should expect, Groups.io is inundated with transfer requests.? Add in the Yahoo dysfunctionality and you should realize that things are not going to happen quickly.
