Thanks for the suggestions which are appreciated.

From Frances:

My email (Apple Mail) does that for me - made rules in iCloud.
What email client are you using?

I am using Apple Mail on this computer, a Mac mini, and I use Thunderbird on my PC.

You could rejoin some groups with different email address, if you wish. Then cancel the subscriptions that are duplicates.

That is the only option that I can see so far but it is one that I wanted to avoid.

Most of the groups that I am in, owning some and a member of others, are for Amateur Radio so I use my callsign in my domain name for my email address. The other groups are for other purposes and I prefer to use another domain name for those which does not use my callsign.

I know how to merge the groups into one account or to change to another email address for all of them but I don’t know how to split some groups away to another account.


From Jonathan Sivier:

Why not just use a filter on your email program to direct the messages from different groups into different folders. …

Yes, I have done that in both Mac Mail and Thunderbird. It solves half of the problem but not the one where I want to use different email address domains for different purposes.

As I said, I would like to be able to split some groups from one account and move them to another account without moving all of them.

The problem is probably that I was used to being able to do that easily in the Yahoo Groups so I was hoping to be able to do the same here.

Once again, thanks for all the suggestions.

Lawrence -- It is possible to post messages to a group using an alternate address, by setting up an email alias. But if you want to receive messages from those groups, the only way to do that here is to join with the new email address and unsubscribe with the old one.

In groups.io, your email address IS your account identifier.

One advantage of doing it that way is you don't need to set up a separate account identifer/user ID within groups.io -- if you have an email address, you already have one. It also allows groups.io to do the "email me a link to log in" thing if you don't want to (or simply never get around to) setting up a password.

The main downside to all that is what you have encountered. Frankly, trying to use more than one email address here can be quite inconvenient. After a few times of finding yourself unable to access group content because you're logged in under the wrong address, I suspect you will end up merging these accounts again.

Thanks. I will check up on the option of using another address for posting messages. It might help.

You are probably right about that. My real problem is increasing age and probably senility which I why I don’t adapt to new systems as easily as I used to.

Join all groups (or just the groups you want to 'split and move') with both email addresses (accounts).
If you are an Owner or Moderator set both email addresses with the privileges you desire.

Then, either:
-set one email address in each group to "No Mail" (or "Special Notices" if "No Mail" is not permitted).
OR
-unsubscribe one email address from each group as you desire.

I suggest the former.


ALTERNATELY
Change your email address (account) in the groups you want to 'split and move'
