Transferring Lists


 

How long does it take to transfer a list. I subscribed the transfer address to my old list and set up a new one here, but have heard nothing more. That was 2? days ago.

You have to send the transfer address an email giving the green light for the transfer.

We transferred roughly 3000 members and over 150000 messages from Yahoo to groups.io in about 2 days.

If you generate messages on the group.io site before you have completed the transfer they receive messages numbers based on the next available message number at that moment and may end up interwoven within your Yahoo messages as duplicate numbers.


 

Thanks to everyone about the transfer process. I¡¯ve done everything I can do from this end.

The next step is an email asking for information for Yahoo about giving Groups.io permission to transfer. I was just wondering who long it might take to receive that.

I had to tell my list members about a potential move so they are overrunning me with questions.

You don't need to tell yahoo anything! The steps are (1) invited the transfer address, (2) once it's accepted the invite, make it a moderator and (3) send the transfer address an email saying you're ready for the transfer. The whole thing took less than 48 hours for my group, from invite to fully transferred group. I don't k ow why you're having these problems. Perhaps the process has changed since I moved my group inJanuary.

PS You do realize that nothing happens to your yahoo group, right? It will stay exactly the same after the transfer, unless you do something such as make it an 'announcement only' group to prevent people from posting further to it. That's what I did and I think it eliminated a lot of confusion I've seen in some other groups that transferred over, where people were posting to both groups. The Groups.io group is just a copy of your yahoo group. Nothing is actually transferred. The old group still exists.

You don't have to ask yahoo's permission to moved your group. Just contact Mark or the transfer team and they'll make the move for you.

Hugs,

I had forgotten to make the [email protected] a moderator. And thought groups.io was going to send me an email. I reread the very good instructions. All is well again, so far.
