Subscribers with more than one email address.


 

On YahooGroups, if people subscribe from 2+ email addresses, yahoo will group them under one account. When you subscribe to a list, you choose the address to subscribe from.

Since Groups.io only has an email address, a name, and preferences ¡ª no other account information ¡ª aren¡¯t the two email addresses treated as independent subscriptions?

Sharon,

On YahooGroups, if people subscribe from 2+ email addresses, yahoo
will group them under one account. When you subscribe to a list, you
choose the address to subscribe from.
If you jump through the correct set of hoops to add those addresses to the same Yahoo account.

You could also jump through a different set to add each to its own Yahoo Account. The latter is the natural result if they are two or more Yahoo Mail addresses.

Since Groups.io only has an email address, a name, and preferences ¡ª
no other account information ¡ª aren¡¯t the two email addresses treated
as independent subscriptions?
Correct. Each subscribed email address is the ID for its own account.

There's some hope that Groups.io will someday allow multiple subscription addresses to be managed under a single account.


There is an advanced setting for your account that allows for an Email Alias, but that address is not subscribed to any groups, and won't receive any group's messages - it is strictly a send-only alternative to posting from your account address.

Sharon,


To answer your question, I'm going through a situation where someone has two accounts with the same name, but with different email addresses. I find that the older account has dominance; if I unsubscribe the older account, the newer one takes over for a few minutes, but then the older one takes over. When the older account is deleted, the newer, and preferred one, will become the permanent account.
