Send them the ?I think it's mbox or?somethingn file of the archive. I did this for all the onths of my list zipped up in a zip folder. They?transferred all of them.

Take care

That's the place, [email protected], did you at least get the automated acknowledgement? If not check your Spam & etc.

If it is possible, then I also need to know what format is needed so I can request it from the mailman server owner. Both lists do not have attachments, if that matters.

Import from is already implemented, so that would be simplest. [] That's basically a plain-text concatenation of the messages as they were on the wire (header and transfer-encoded body).

Moving a lists archive to groups.io

 

This is NOT for a Yahoo group. It's a mailman group. I need to do this for two lists that I have moved to .

I've done a lot of searching on the site and in this forum. There's plenty on Yahoo but other stuff not so much.

I emailed support about a week ago with no reply and I am wondering if there is someplace else I need to go for this. Or is it just not possible?

If it is possible, then I also need to know what format is needed so I can request it from the mailman server owner. Both lists do not have attachments, if that matters.

Thanks - jeff

 That's not correct. They are sent out immediately to everyone on Special Notice, even people subscribed via digest or summary (in addition to the digest or summary).

Re: Can you embed calendar into a web site

 

Thanks Duane. As this is becoming an FAQ, I've added this information to the GMF wiki, but only as a link to the message thread. Perhaps I will go back and clean it up later.

Re: Questions from a new group owner

 

Just to add to this, even Special Notices are not sent out immediately for those who are using a digest or summary. If you need to send everyone a message right away you'll either have to do that through the Actions->Send Message pull-down from the Members tab, or download your member list into a spreadsheet and paste the addresses into your email client.

I also don't believe there is currently such a thing as a true Google calendar integration; meaning the ability to import calendar entries from Google into GIO. It has been requested in beta and I would dearly love to have it.

Duane, you helped me solve my problem. The two hashtags for these groups were moderated. Thanks.

Thanks again, Duane. But not there. In fact, haven't had a message in #cal-notice in a few weeks.

They're not sent to those on No Email.? You do have the option to disable the No Email setting on your group though.

Special Notices are not sent to members whose setting is no-email. And there's no "urgent" or "priority mail" feature.

Re: Can someone explain to me... unsubscribed for marking a message as spam

This gets into threshold scores.
Depending upon the specific email vendor, once a certain number (either
as a straight number, or as a percentage) flag something as spam, the
message is automatically reclassified as spam.

Email from Rewards Programs tend to have high "is it spam" scores. It is
entirely possible that just one person tossing the message into the spam
bucket, pushes the spam score over the threshold, and reclassifies it as
spam. (Assuming the algorithms are basically the same as they were a
decade ago, a priority of "junk" will score 2 or so points lower than a
priority of "urgent".

Back in the early days of spam detection, a priority of "urgent first
class" would ensure the email was classified as spam.

Re: How long does it take to transfer

 

I'm stuck too.? I've invited [email protected] to our group on 3/17, and I'm not receive an email and don't see them as a member of our group.? I've also completed the "Easy Yahoo Group Transfer" page with the check boxes and clicked Update transfer.? It's frustrating to not know if you are in the queue, or if you've initiated this process correctly.? I keep checking our group and looking for an email, but nothing.? Does anyone have any advise on how we can check our transfer request?? LInda

2) Say we upgrade to a paid account now, transfer all our members and data

longer money to maintain the paid subscription.
If at that point, we downgrade to a free account, would we lose any
existing members or data?
I don't think you would lose members because the free account is unlimited. If your data storage exceeds the 1GB limit for the free account, something has to give - either money or data. There has been discussion about "free" accounts with incremental paid storage but that is not currently an option. A strategy might be to store your photos and other big consumers elsewhere, e.g., Google Photos and Drive.

3) Is it true that to use the Calendar integration with Google Calendar,
the user does NOT need a groups.io login?
I don't know

4) How about a Wiki? Do you need a login to view and/or edit a wiki?
Under Settings, there are Wiki settings that cover all or most likely permissions. You can make a wiki publicly viewable but not publicly editable.

Shal:

[email protected] became a member of the group on February 27.? Per step 4 of Easy Transfer I initiated a transfer request that day.? Nothing happened for about 2 weeks so I cancelled that transfer request and submitted a new request last week and still nothing is happening from what I can see.? This is what I get if I check on the progress.

Bruce,

I have tried to transfer my uk group several times.? Whenever I click the status button nothing has changed and all options are still available.

Usually having the options still available means you haven't clicked what I've been calling the "Go" button. But it sounds like you are not being shown that button, which usually means that the transfer agent hasn't yet accepted your invitation or joined your group.

In Step 3 you should have been sent an email with instructions. If you haven't received that it would be a further indication that the transfer agent doesn't think it is ready to begin (hasn't accepted the invite or joined).
?
The transfer? is a moderator on the uk group.? What do I have to do to get a transfer going?

I'm not sure what confusion is afoot. It may be that the several attempts have confused the mechanism, or Mark, somehow. I'm also not sure how long the queue is in the two places in the mechanism where you might wait. But regardless the evidence you have indicates to me a confused state. If it has been more than a couple days since the last action I'd write to [email protected] to see if you're just waiting or if you needed to be unstuck somehow.

problems with cox.net accounts?

 

Bruce,

Thanks for the responses and suggested resolutions! TLD isn't incorrect; that's the correct appendage for Cox subscriber email. I'm not sure what resolved the problem, but over the last 36 hours, "missing" messages have been delivered FIFO, and are now caught up. Test messages appear with minimal delay. Several of our group members had complained to Cox; maybe that brought it to their attention.

Best regards,
-Dave
Questions from a new group owner

I sent these questions to the developer, but he deflected them to this forum:



1) Is there any such thing as "Urgent" or "Priority" emails that go out
right away, regardless of how the users set up their subscription options?
2) Say we upgrade to a paid account now, transfer all our members and data
over from a Y!group, and then at some point in the future, there is no

If at that point, we downgrade to a free account, would we lose any

I'd double check the #cal-notice hashtag.? The noreply@ source and having to approve it sounds like it may be set to Moderated.

Thanks Frances and Duane

Both were good thoughts, but the one of the topics was a new EVENT created by a member, and while I have 34 hashtags in my group, none of them are moderated. I am wondering if new events (both posted by moderators) must be approved somehow --
