Hi all -- I'm new here and not technical.? The original owner of a longstanding Yahoo group didn't transfer the group here before the deadline to take advantage of the Easy Transfer process, and she only recently gave me admin access to move the group here.? I do have the Yahoo group file download.? I managed to import the member list, but I'm very hesitant to try to do the manual process to upload the large (and valuable) message archive and lose all the sender/date information in the process.?

I saw in a post here that Mark would be willing to upload the mbox files (I assume this would yield the same benefit of using Easy Transfer, yes?) if I pay for Premium Yearly ($220).? Does that offer still stand?? If so I'd love to do it.? Just tell me what to do.?

Thanks!

Karen -- At least one person has recently (January 9) reported that groups.io will import your mbox file in exchange for a Premium Yearly payment. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/topic/69538488#27265?for a discussion, and also the ?(15th bullet).

You must, of course, make the appropriate group upgrade payment, contact support at?[email protected], provide Mark with the mbox file(s) in some manner, and let him know into which [sub]group you want them to go.

Please note that this is the ONLY way to import your messages while retaining posting date and message ownership.

While we're at it, take a good look at your mbox files (open one in NotePad or similar) and look at some of the message headers. Are the sending email addresses truncated (i.e.: lacking domain information)? If so, importing the files may not be possible.

I've had really mixed results with this...sometimes Yahoo has provided mbox files with truncated email addresses, and sometimes not, even for the same group. Generally speaking, anyone attempting this should try to obtain Moderator status before requesting an export via the Y!G Privacy Dashboard.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Yes, we placed a support request via the support email. Mark got back to us on Jan. 6.? I provided a zip of all the mbox files we obtained from Yahoo via "get my data" Jan. 7 by putting them on an FTP site for Mark to download.? On Jan. 8 Mark indicated he had begun the import.? By that evening, we had our archive.? Prior to opening the support request, I had pre-created an empty subgroup for the archives to be loaded into (we already had some traffic in the main group, and I didn't know how the loading of 17.5 years of Yahoo messages might affect those).? It all worked beautifully.? We are a pre-paid Premium group.
