Hi all,

1. Last Friday (5 days ago) I requested a transfer for my Yahoo group.Last Saturday (4 days ago) I've given the go-ahead.
How long is the actual waiting time for finishing the transfer?

2. The member list of my group has a lot of members with the status "No mail". I'm afraid most of these members are not active anymore. Do these members receive a welcome message by joining Group.io? And if that message bounces, are these bouncing accounts automatically removed or do they automatically get the status "bouncing"?
If not…. What's the best way to check and clean up these "no mail" accounts? My group contains no-mail accounts from the year 2000, the year of introducing the group, 19 years ago.

Thanking in advance for the answers….

I just cleaned up all bouncing members. So the number of members reduced from 1200 to 800.
But I think that a big part of the 800 remaining members (especially those with the status "no mail") are not active anymore, with expired e-mail addresses. I think just 300/400 members are still active anymore, maybe even less. But only from the members who are somtimes writing in the group, I'm sure their profile is up-to-date.

I hope bouncing welcome messages will result in more outdated (bouncing) member profiles, but I will wait for the results.

Any bouncing members are NOT transferred.? If you allow the message to go out, everyone transferred will get it.? If you do allow it to be sent, it will contain a link for them to click on to be removed from the group.
