Due to eMail change lost group where I was the only owner


 

Background.
Changed ISP, added new eMail address in one group, made myself the owner and
deleted the old address.
Tried to do the same with a second group and found out that all my other groups
disappeared. I was not aware that the address is being changed in ALL groups if
a change was made in ONE group.

Problem
I was the ONLY owner in one group and, since the notification goes to the
registered owner (albeit to a non existing address), I cannot log in any longer.

I would appreciate any advice about a possibility to rectify that.

Is this a new problem? Happening now?

No, it actually happened last year in October.
Became aware yesterday that all groups are changed at the same time. Changed
this morning to my gMail address in case I had used that as a second address and
saw, got notification that all were changed. Changed back again and started this
thread.

Two things:

1. The Member Help page has the info on changing email addresses.
/helpcenter/membersmanual/1/understanding-groups-io-accounts/setting-account-preferences-and-viewing-account-information?single=true

There are some important Notes in the section:

Note:?
?
This change applies to all groups you are subscribed to at the original email address.
If the new email address is already registered with Groups.io, a page appears that explains the account merge process and prompts you to verify that you want to merge your Groups.io accounts.
If you made a typo when you entered the new email address and you did not notice before you clicked Yes to confirm it, see Recovering your account if you enter an incorrect email address.

2. Are you still having trouble logging in? ?Did you sort it out?

Your reply was:
No, it actually happened last year in October.

thread.

Can we consider this case closed?

Arno, obviously your Rogers email address is going through okay with this group.

But to summarize, after changing ISP and email address, you have a group where you cannot log in as owner.
And you were the sole owner.?

I think we still need some basic info to help with your "lost group".

Trying to see if it is only the one group that has a problem:

Are you an owner or moderator of any other groups?
If you go online to Groups.io (any group including this one) and click on Groups.io or Your Groups in the blue nav bar, can you see the "lost group" as well as this group (GMF)?

Or any groups apart from GMF - that is working according to your email delivery notifications/

You mentioned a second email address. Did you mean that you have a second account that was a co-owner of your group?
Or just an Email Alias that allows you to send to the group?

Have you tried the Email Me a link to log in?

Have you tried logging into groups.io with the old address?? It may be non-existent anymore but unless if the groups.io account it was attached to was deleted, it's still there.

Just use the 'Email me a link to login' option then click the link that is emailed to you. That will log you in you can reset your password from your Account screen.

Correct.

Are you an owner or moderator of any other groups?
I am only an owner of the one group where I applied for membership with the new
Rogers address, made myself an Owner and then deleted the Sympatico address.
All other groups had disappeared and I applied for membership for those and got
it.

If you go online to Groups.io (any group including this one) and click on Groups.io or Your Groups in the blue nav bar, can you see the "lost group" as well as this group (GMF)?
No, the lost group does not show. GMF and all other subscribed groups are shown
and delivered to my Inbox, as available.
When I then clicked 'Login' it offered the original Sympatico and the gMail from
this mornings test. Entering the old Sympatico address it popped up the error
about bouncing. After un bouncing and trying again it come back as 'Your email
is incorrect'.

You mentioned a second email address. Did you mean that you have a second account that was a co-owner of your group?
Or just an Email Alias that allows you to send to the group?
No, no second account or alias.
This morning I attempted to change the Sympatico to my gMail address.

Have you tried the Email Me a link to log in?
Yes, but it then only shows me the groups to which I am subscribed.
