I read and appreciated the
??
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki notes on mkgration.i have two or three questions remaining confusions:
i have several yahoo groups I like to fully migrate...with their message archives.
of those groups only one is REALLY important ..I'll cal it "ImportantGroup... aka ?"IG" for this thread,)
i fully downloaded all of IG's and my other groups's message archives and uploaded files with PG downloader just before yahoo removed them.
i also took up Yahoo's offer and had them create , and I retrieved one big zip file of MBOX files.
I also have also downloaded the membership list.
so several question I hope someone (Shal??) can help with:
# First , I noticed somewhere that groupsio does now offer an option for paid groups to import archives from MBOX files. So that basically raises my MAIN question is is it easier or better to (A) try importing the archives from the MBOX files or (B) the PG downloader files.
Can you educate me on the pros ?cons of method A vs B??
# I was a bit confused when I got the downloaded-from-yahoo zip.
i looked in there and there's AFAIK no way to tell which files were from which of the five groups that were in there.
That worries me about how or even IF the import (whether done by me manually or some semi-automatic procedure offered by groupsio) can distinguish which files belong to which group. It would be a nightmare if somehow all the different groups' archives got uploaded into my new grouosio IG group.
(BTW, I do understand there's no easy migration path for the files..That's not top priority for me.)
Any info would be helpful in unconfusing me.
