Hi

Mike,

I tried: "[email protected]". XXX is group name.

That should work.

I can manually set up someone as a member by entering their email and
name.

You mean you forged their name and email address into the From of your message to [email protected]?

Be aware that this will cause Groups.io to send a confirmation email message to that address. The recipient will need to confirm their desire to subscribe before they will be made a member of the group.

At which point, wouldn't an Invite be easier?

510: 5.1.1 Your email address, [redacted]@yahoo.com
<mailto:example@...>, is not subscribed to that group.

It looks like the address you sent it to didn't actually contain the "+subscribe" part. I'm not sure what else could cause that response.

Then tried w.o. the "+" sign--- [email protected]

That would no doubt be interpreted as an attempted post to the non-existent group XXXsubscribe.

In our 'get together' group there is one member who only sends one on one eMail He never did join the Yahoo group befote.

Is there a way to add him on so that messages to him do not have to be CC'ed any longer?

You have to pay for Premium if you want to directly add members without having them accept an invitation.

Bruce

1. You can send anyone an invitation using the invite function?
OR
2. You can send someone a link to your home page, where they can join (or apply for membership, if your group is restricted) - that address is
/g/group-name
OR
3. You can direct-add the person, using the Direct Add function, if your group is premium, as Bruce notes.

I'd try J's suggestion 1 first - send him an invite.

He may have been daunted by Yahoo Groups' rigamarole for joining, especially if he tried to get a Yahoo Account so as to access the group's web resources. With Groups.io this is so much more streamlined that he might succeed. You could mention in the invitation text just how easy it is. Including simply replying to the invitation if all he wants is to read and post by email.

Or as Bruce and J said, you can upgrade your group to Premium in order to do a Direct Add of his address. Fortunately you don't have to make more than a one month commitment if you decide to go this route. Click on your Group's Upgrade page, then on the "View/Change Plan" button over to the right.

In the list of plans there is "Group Transfer (Premium For One Month)". That option is there to support transfers from lists on platforms other than Yahoo Groups or Google Groups, which have no automatic transfer support. But I've found that is also very handy and cost-saving for groups like PTA groups who tend to collect the majority of their members at a single yearly event (school registration).

But I think it can also work out well for groups in the aftermath of a transfer from Yahoo, who have a bunch of addresses that didn't get copied, or due to renewed outreach have collected a bunch of addresses from people who are just now taking an interest in the group.

Thanks all.

I'll discuss it with him at the next meeting and if he agrees I will try the Add On route as a one off.
