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.

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.

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 over from a Y!group, and then at some point in the future, there is no 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,

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

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 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? 3) Is it true that to use the Calendar integration with Google Calendar, the user does NOT need a groups.io login? 4) How about a Wiki? Do you need a login to view and/or edit a wiki?

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 --
Norm

Is there by any chance a hashtag on the message that is set to be moderated?? I ran into that a couple of times.

Norm, once I inadvertently made a thread moderated. If you go to a message, click on the down arrow at the bottom right of the message, the first option in the menu is to make the topic become moderated. I had wanted to make it a sticky - a different option. When I had to moderate the first new message in that topic, I fixed it.
Perhaps that?

Frances

About once a week, I get a message like this
"A message was sent to the group ... from [email protected] that needs to be approved"

I have no message moderation on my site, and does not agree with the guidelines that should cause moderation on my site. The people sending the email are members.

But the email I get goes on...

"This action requires your approval for one of the following reasons:

• Your group is set to moderate all activity from this user, OR
• Your group is set to moderate activity from all users, OR
• This is a reply to a thread that is moderated"

I haven't had any trouble with groups.io emails, but I definitely have a few others where this happens.? For examples, I get emails from Panera Bread reward program, sometimes they get through and other times they end up in the spam folder.? Who knows?why.

I would think that it could be programmed to override this and set to "No Email." Sent a note to the member and owners to rectify the situation. Almost the same as what happens now with sending a rejoin that probably goes to spam & an unsubscribe that goes to the owner.

?

I will not attempt to guess what can or cannot be (easily?) programmed. Your point about the "rejoin" message is a good one though; in the most recent incidence on the Group for which I am a moderator the alleged spam went to the user's spam box, and started the trouble, while the rejoin message went to his inbox as normal. If it had gone to spam then he wouldn't have known anything until I emailed him separately from any Group influence.

This raises two possibilities (perhaps more), the first being that the member's ESP is entirely capricious in the way it determines something as being spam; the second is that it is not the message from Groups.io per se that upsets it, but something within the email, even the identity (email address) of the originator of the message, i.e. the other member.

It's something of a Donald Rumsfeld moment; we don't know what we don't know.

Or at the very least I don't...

I'm in the same situation as Robert, having initiated a transfer on March 9th. When I select the Yahoo group name from the In Process drop down it goes to the Easy Yahoo Group Transfer page with a blue 'Update Transfer' and red 'Delete Transfer Request' button and with all the selection buttons ticked and blue. I'm thinking to delete it and start again...

The question I have is why are they unsubscribed, rather than set to 'No Email'?

I floated that idea the other day, but another member of this group pointed out that he had "no emails" disabled, and of course other groups might do the same.

Finding an approach that causes the least confusion to the greatest number is not straightforward.
