Re: Identifying Missing Messages after YahooGroups Transfer?
In YahooGroups (web interface), the URL of each message ends with the number of that message, and that number is incremental starting with "1" back at the beginning of the group and its first post.
In Groups.io, the upper right corner of the web interface says "1 - 20 of 13074" That is where I am getting my numbers from. Over the 20 years my group has been in existence, it's possible some messages have been deleted.? But 133 seems high.? I am the only one allowed to post, and I am the only owner/moderator.? If any had been deleted, I'd guess less than a dozen, not over 100! Is there a way to export Groups.io messages in mbox format so I could 'diff' it against the YahooGroups mbox export and identify the oddities that way? |

That will do what you want. Kinda awkward, I admit; but seems better than temporarily changing everyone's message delivery setting and then trying to change them all back. It will also help you find all the affected messages later, if for some reason things don't go as expected. Bruce |
Re: Move messages AFTER group transfer?
Not directly.? You'd have to forward or copy each one as an email from you, so much of the 'envelope' would be lost.I would like to do this.? I've got an announcement-only group. I am the only one allowed to post, and therefore have all of the original messages in my Sent mail folder on my computer that I can just forward in to Groups.io. My question is, can I temporarily turn off the mailing out of messages from my Groups.io group, so subscribers don't see the same messages again?? And then once the missing messages are in, turn it back on, and proceed like normal? Thanks. |

Identifying Missing Messages after YahooGroups Transfer?
My YahooGroups -> Groups.io transfer completed today (woooo!)? See below for the progress I experienced.
The YahooGroups appeared to have 13207 messages in it at the time of export.? But the Groups.io import only has 13074 messages in it, leaving behind a mysterious 133 messages. Is there any way to identify what messages got missed, and why? Thanks. I think my export from Yahoo happened overnight (Sat26 into Sunday27). 10/27: Your group is awaiting import into Groups.io.

Re: Deleting old links from the Databases section of an imported Yahoo Group

Bruce, thank you for your fast reply.? Now I know how to edit and delete individual tables. Our imported Yahoo Group folders of links form 19 tables of links in our new Groups.io home. Is there a way to delete all 19 tables simultaneously? Or must one delete each table one-at-a-time? There doesn't seem to be an option to delete all tables simultaneously in the upper-left of the Databases screen.? (I tried unsuccessfully to insert an image of the upper screen.? The only two options seem to be +Create Table and +Import Table.? But no option to delete all tables.) |
Re: How to approve "pending" members imported from YG?
Me, again. Still trying to figure it out. The list of members seems complete. But even some people already listed as members are "applying" and I have to approve. Is it possible that my setting -- to require approval of new members -- is gumming up the works? ? tx |

Mr. Bowman,
You are correct Sir. I will give it more time. Thank you. Scott. |
Re: What does [EXTERNAL] mean on a post
More precisely, administrators of large organizations like American Red Cross and State of North Carolina which use Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Office 365 can set an option which prefixes the subject with with "[EXTERNAL]" when at least one of the addressees is outside the enterprise. This cautions other internal recipients to be careful what they write in a "Reply All" message. |

Thanks Bruce, I'm not sure what happened the first time but this time my YGroup is listed,? I sent what I hope is my last invitation to [email protected] and when I click on Update Transfer I now see We've received the invite to your group and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invite.Ok, back to being patient again, but at least now the system is responding as it's supposed to. Thank you so much for your help!

Thanks Bruce.? I'm quite sure that I did this You have to type in your Yahoo Group in the top box and?also?select your destination group from the pull-down menu immediately below it. At that point you should be able to click on the green "Start Group Transfer Process" button without getting an error message of some kind.? I typed the YGroup name?evonline2002_webheads in the top box I'm sure I entered the destination group in the bottom menu. I believe it would have been listed there and I selected it, is that correct? I'm pretty sure I clicked to start the transfer process. What should I do now? try again? Please advise, and thanks ?
