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. Arno |

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.

Can we consider this case closed? Frances Help available from Groups.io help and GMF wiki. ? |

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.? You wrote: No, it actually happened last year in October.

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?

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