Adding an Email Alias

Since your account ID is your email address, you can only email from that address, unless you set an email alias.?This is useful if you wanted to email to a group from your work computer.?

However, you will not receive mail to that email alias.

Set that up on your group site - go to your name in the top right corner

  1. Login to your account.
  2. Select "Account" from the top right after logging in.?
  3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page where it says "Advanced Settings For Email Aliases" and click on the right arrow at the far right of that line.
  4. Enter the e-mail alias in the space below the text, then click the blue "Add Email Alias" button right below it.

Merging Accounts

If you have two or more accounts, you lose the advantage of seeing all messages from your groups in one list using Your Groups and managing muted or followed topics and hashtags. You can merge the accounts. (Do it one email address at a time!)

Below are the steps necessary to perform an account merge.

1) Log into?the account?that you want to inactivate.?
2) Pull down the menu at top right and select Account (or browse to?/account)
3) In the "Email" field at the top of the page, enter?the address you want to merge into?(i.e.: overwriting what is already there).
4) Click the "Change Email" button.
5) Groups.io will notify you of the fact that the account already exists, and ask if you want to merge them.?
6) Click the blue button below this notification to confirm your intent to merge.
7) An email will be sent to the destination email address.?
8) Clicking on the link in that email will take you to the login page.
9) Log in under the destination email address, using either the account password or the "email me a link" button.
10) Click on the blue button to complete the merge.?

If for any reason you can't log into either of the two accounts, the merge is not possible.
