[email protected] doesn't go through

 

but [email protected] does go through for the invite in order to transfer the group.

We only have 3 days to be able to transfer so are feeling a bit desperate.

We have to upgrade to premium which I did but on a monthly basis. The transfer fee is a one time shot of 220. Will my 20 already paid count when I pay now the 200??

If the user is receiving group messages then there's no need to correct her subscribed email address. On her page in the Members list check the Email Delivery History tab to be sure this is true.

Instead, assuming her subscription is still using the non-dotted spelling, mara can go into her account and add the dotted spelling as an Email Alias. This will allow posts under either the dotted or non-dotted spelling to post as "her".
Shal,
Should i send a Bug Report? ?I am waiting now for her to add her other email as an email alias.?

It's because Mark said he will delete feature requests until the YG fiasco is over.? I'd guess a week or two, but he'll make an announcement when he's ready to have them posted.

It appears you haven't actually set up a transfer.? Use the steps at /g/GroupManagersForum/message/24431 to make sure you're doing the proper things in the proper order.? There will be no indication on the transfer page that you've upgraded.

What does the item below from the group transfer checklist mean, and why would you do it?
If you're using the same email address for the group you created here, the date you originally joined the YG won't be copied.? It seems to be a status thing with some people, so we tried to cover all the bases in the Wiki.? You can join the GIO group with an email address you didn't use on YG, make it owner, then remove the one you used on YG before giving the go ahead.

If so, you'd need an Enterprise group to do it, bu it would be the entire domain.? This is something you'd need to ask support about.

Dan, have you paid for the entire year? You can't pay it monthly for a transfer. I paid $220 for the transfer.? It? was a week ago, think I did? it right.

Secondly, I am assuming that you are an owner or moderator with the status to promote the transfer email address to moderator. Quite a few people thought they were but aren't.? Yes, I was made a moderator so I could do this.

Third, you are signed in with the right email address, I hope!? Only? one I've got...

Fourth, you said you verified that the payment had taken place. Did you pay it or someone else? I paid.
Frankly, I am not 100% sure that this matters, except instructions say that you have to be a group Owner, or a Moderator with the "Billing" privilege.

What is the error message? When you check your transfer status, what does it say? (You could send a screenshot. Or give us the exact wording.

Go to the Yahoo transfer page at /yahootransfer
Select the transfer you want to check status on from "Existing Transfers" at lower right (i.e.: click on the name) This is not a displayed option.
The box at the top of the resulting page will tell you the status of that transfer. Don't get there!
Repeat for any other transfers you may have in progress. Only one.

I sent a message to support.? Though this is only for premium subscribers... they have the money, but I feel remarkably? "unpremium"? today.

Thanks again,

Have Own Domain Name

 

Perhaps this isn't a new topic, but I couldn't find the answer to my question.

Our non-profit already has its own domain at GoDaddy, kbwbs.org.? I HATE GoDaddy email manager!? I'd really like to transfer the GoDaddy email account and its records to Groups.io.? But we would like to keep our email address:? info@....? Is that possible?
Thanks,

Update: If you get an error message when trying to invite [email protected] to your YahooGroup, keep inviting and clicking the Update button on the Easy Yahoo Groups Transfer page.?

The error message I got was "Sorry, an error occurred while loading the content."?

This may or may not be the error message you get when you try to invite [email protected]. But, keep clicking the Update button on the Easy Yahoo Groups Transfer page until you see this message at the top:?We've received the invite to your group and will accept it soon. There is no need to send another invite.?

After that, follow the next steps on this page:?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Transfer-from-Yahoo-Groups

Correct.

They will send you an email once they have received an invite.
I wish this were true, but it's probably too late to suggest such a tweak to the Easy Group Transfer process.

To be clear, will send you an email once they have accepted your invite. The only way to know if the Yahoo Groups invitation has gone out and been received by is to check your status page as noted above. At that point it will say "We have received your invite and will accept it soon..."

From the wiki:

Will this happen to me?
Maybe. This issue affects users of specific email services that choose to interpret spam markings as a request to unsubscribe. Some do so even when it was their spam filter that redirected the message to your Spam folder. Check the list of Service Providers below, if your email service provider is not on that list then most likely you will not be affected.

For more, see?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Removed-for-spam

What is the position of Groups.io management on why this is being done?
There are statements about why this is being handled this way in [] and [].

I dont understand??

 

Hello,

You have been automatically removed from [email protected] because your Email Service Provider reported to us that one or more messages sent to you from [email protected] has been marked as spam.

We suggest that you check your spam box as soon as possible to see if your Email Service Provider has diverted other legitimate messages into it.

You will receive no more emails from that group. If this was a mistake, you can resume your subscription within the next 7 days by clicking the following link:

Resume Subscription

Groups.io groups offer several options for controlling how much and what types of emails to receive. See this for more information.

If this happens repeatedly please check with your Email Service Provider to learn about how they decide to send feedback reports to list services (such as Groups.io groups).

Cheers,
The Groups.io Team

Duane said that Mark mentioned in one of his posts that if the invitation is marked as received for more than few hours, you should send another one. ?BTW, you can't invite the transfer agent to your GIO group, you'll get an error.

Re: Detailed Instructions on How to Conduct a Yahoo Transfer

 

Thank to all who sent tips. I have had some movement in my transfer now. Here's what i did and what ha happened so far.

-- I re-invited?[email protected]?to both my groups and then clicked the update transfer button on the transfer page.
-- When I got back messages saying to make t[email protected]?a moderator on Yahoogroups, I did that.
-- Then, I went to the transfer page and clicked on the button Go ahead with transfer.

So, I think all is in process now. Keeping fingers crossed that they will be able to bring all my Yahoo archives over to groups.io!

Feeling so much more hopeful now! Thanks to all forum members and Groups.io staff for all your support and work on this!

Leslie


Re: Invite accepted!

 

That is good news for us here at GroupsIO.? I had alerted the folks here about their effort just a few days ago.? Seems the Archive Team either paused their work or Yahoo closed their ability to taxi the dickens out of their servers.

Yes, I like the idea AT is being proactive to retain/save the important data, but there needs to be a balance for us migrating away from YG too.?

Should the AT find some of the LARGE groups on their warrior approach, they would really bring the YG servers to their needs.? My group alone has over 90K in messages hitting 195Mb alone.? And we are not even the largest AG tractor YG group.? John Deere YG is!?

My only comment - I had a Yahoo email address for YG but haven't used it for years. Not since my groups moved here. (Actually it is dormant / gone, according to Yahoo.)
So have people moved on??
They can change their email address easily.
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Profile-and-Email-Address-and-Merging-Accounts

Yahoo Mail is pretty spammy too. And seems to generate spoof type emails. (I use Yahoo Mail only to access a Rogers email account on Rogers (Canadian ISP that uses YahooMail as their webmail).
