I was using a different email for my Yahoo groups than I did for groups.io.? Now that several of those groups have transferred, I have two Groups.io accounts.? Is there a way to merge them, presumably best done after this rush of transfers is completed, or do I just have to join the groups with my main groups.io account.?? I would like to keep my ownership of photos and files if possible.?? Should I change my Yahoo main account email to match the groups.io email or is just changing the delivery email enough.? (Which one does groups.io transfer use.)? Any suggestions?? These are accounts where I am only a member.? My own groups I moved over long ago.

Dale -- You can merge your own accounts, but you cannot merge someone else's.

Bruce,

Thanks, but will changing the Yahoo mail delivery address to the same as my groups.io address set it up for future account transfers to enroll me under that groups.io account?

Dale -- In groups.io, your email address is your account. If a future transfer moves your Yahoo address, that account will be set up all over again, possibly requiring a second merge operation. I don't know your personal situation with respect to how many groups you are in, what email address you have subscribed in each of them, or the likelihood of any of them being migrated later. I can only point you to the available tools, and leave the timing up to you.

Good luck,
Bruce

Bruce,

Yahoo allows mail to be sent to addresses other than the sign in email for Yahoo groups.? Right now, my Yahoo groups mail is sent to the Yahoo sign in email.?? I can change the delivery to another email address without changing the Yahoo sign in email, such as the one I use for groups.io.?

My question is which address will groups.io use to either create a new account or associate it with an existing account.?? The Yahoo sign on address or the Yahoo designated email delivery address??? I think it is the latter.? Can you confirm?

As Bruce said,?In groups.io, your email address is your account. So not your Yahoo sign in.?

If you are transferring a group, your own posts will be moved with the email address you used for Yahoo.?

You can change your email address easily in Groups.io
Bruce, I think, was also talking about waiting until any groups you belong to are moved.

You can also make an alias for sending posts to your groups - but you don't receive any at the alias address.?

Here's about changing your address, adding an email alias and merging accounts:
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Profile-and-Email-Address-and-Merging-Accounts

I would change to your usual email address when things are settled for you.
