Yahoogroup and Iogroup side by side?

Heijo Alting #9024 Dear all, Is it possible to have a yahoogroup and a copy of it on iogroups (after duplicating the archive, member list and settings) work side by side? Would the iogroup be updated with any new messages from yahoogroups once all data are copied? Could new messages that are written in the iogroup somehow be conveyed to the old yahoogroup?
Duane All Messages By This Member #9027 You might be able to get it to work, but that would be something that you'd have to figure out on your own.? There is no built in mechanism to do it, nor any indication that it is under consideration.? The transfer/copy is a one time process (unless there are major problems.)

Heijo Alting #9029 Thanks, Duane. We'll try to figure this out.

There is an email integration that could be used...having established this email address you can then subscribe that to your Y!G. See Admin->Integrations->Email Integration. Going both ways is pretty risky. You don't want a message to the Y!G to be posted to IO, which then posts back to the Y!G, ad infinitum. I'm told there are message header kludges that will keep this from happening, but it's generally much simpler just to migrate everybody and make a clean break. ?

Bruce Wilson All Messages By This Member #9037 My question is why would you want to do that?? YG are in turmoil which is the reason so many groups are moving/have moved to groups.io.? Transfer your group to groups.io and the mothball the old YG by preventing anyone from posting except admins and put everyone on moderated status so if they try to post you can send them a message saying the YG is inactive and post to the new groups.io.? Keeping the old YG active defeats the whole purpose of moving to groups.io. Bruce Wilson Barrie, Ontario
Monica H. Bellizzi All Messages By This Member #9039 Bruce, You took the kIeystrokes right out of my fingers. Literally thousands of groups have migrated away from Yahoo; most have done this recently because of the total unreliability of YG and the total lack of not only support but basic encouragement to groups to hang in there. If 10,000 more groups exit yahoo I wouldn't be surprised.? Their Board of Directors has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory with virtually every decision they have made.? ?(Catchphrase courtesy of the? old Datamation magazine in an article about why Sperry Rand lost the battle with IBM ca 1970) -- Bob Bellizzi Founder, Fuchs Friends??

Alexis All Messages By This Member #9040 Well two suggestions to post to both groups i) Get every group member to post to both groups. ii) Subscribe a 'forwarding' email address to iogroups and on your email software set up a rule to forward to the yahoogroup. All messages on yahoogroup will show up as coming from the forwarding email address though. One word of caution about the last option. With all the various changes to data laws, especially in the EU, forwarding on messages from someone else to a group they have not signed up for may get you into serious trouble. I for one would not want anything to go on yahoogroups after seeing their latest 'terms and conditions' and what they will be doing with my data.

Heijo Alting #9049 Good question. Some members of our group may be reluctant to change their routines, that's all. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Mon, Jun 4, 2018 at 12:28 pm, Bruce Wilson wrote: My question is why would you want to do that?
