A user needs advice on how to stop having to sign in on her iPhone to read emails
3
Hello Groups.io Managers Forum! Could someone suggest a fix for this problem? I don¡¯t know if iCogroups Admin is a groups.io reference or for her server admin? I recently changed my preference from the individual messages coming through to a daily summary and since then, on my iPhone, I am prompted to enter my password and email for ICOgroups every time. I can open up the individual messages in the daily summary on my Mac fine without having to enter my password and email address. I have also checked my settings on my phone. I have changed my settings so that my log info is saved however, a prompt still pops up and I still have to click in the email field and then click autofill, before I can access any individual messages in the summary list. My Safari browser Block All Cookies is toggled off as another possible cause listed in the things to check guidance. For the final point to check, it states: 5. Contact iCogroups Admin ? If none of the above work, the email list might have specific security settings requiring frequent re-authentication on mobile devices. Reach out to their support team to see if they can adjust settings for your account. I wondered if this could be the cause since I changed the way I receive the messages? I know you are a very busy lady but I would be so grateful if you could please check for me as it is a little frustrating. Many thanks, Erica (Hastings Creatives moderator)

Badges for new/unread messages
7
Didn't the Groups view previously display an indicator (bullet?) on the Group(s) that have unread messages? Each group Feed view does, but it requires opening up each Group to see if there are unread messages. Kinda inefficient/PITA to do that and I **thoughr** I recalled that my Groups page indicated which Group(s) had new posts waiting. Am I misremembering about that? Ken

File edit permissions question
2
Hi group managers, I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to change file access permissions without changing a members role. Our issue is that we would like everyone in our group to have full access (edit, delete, etc) to any file stored in our group, but we don't want to make everyone admins to do that since we still want to keep our administration for the rest of the group to a core group of folks. Looking at file settings there aren't many options, so I'm guessing this isn't possible, but figured I'd ask here to see if there might be a good workaround. Thanks!

New Members only see new messages

Is it possible to allow new members to only see and have access to new messages after they join? Currently new members who join have access to the history of messages and I would like to limit it to only new messages. Thanks in advance.

Mangling the sender address for some people
13
A member of one on my groups is having a problem: Some members (but not others) who post to the group have their sender addresses change from abc@... to abc@.... This causes them to go to his spam folder. It's impractical for folks to have to whitelist every member, and in fact, they might not know that that they're not seeing all the posts to a group (which is what happened with the member). I presume that this a holdover from some earlier situation and that groups.io is doing this mangling. When I post, it doesn't change my address. I have a some questions: - What was the original reason this was done? - What determines which members get this "treatment"? - Does this still need to be happening? Cal

How to create searchable database from message archive? Would AI work to summarize messages? Suggestions please
3
#MessageArchive
#download
#search
I have a groups question. Our group was moved from Yahoo early on in Groups existance and we have archived about 7 5,ooo emails since 2002 from that group. The group is made up of people with a cause of high blood pressure that can be cured by surgery about 50% of the time. I have been researching this cause (called primary aldosteronism or PA) for over 60 years. For some time I have hoped that there was a way to summarize these emails and extract information from our ~1,300 patients who have visited/emailed us to say extract the most common complaint, age onset etc out of these emails. This is probably the largest group of patient with this disease in the world. I am wondering if this can be done using AI as others (before AI) have told me it would be too costly to do this. This could make a significant contribution to our knowledge of PA and perhaps improve diagnosis and management for new patients using this archived experience. If your team cannot help perhaps you can direct me to someone who can. Thanks CE Grim MD Mod's note: Subject line changed. The original was attached to a thread about moving from Google Groups: "A comment on GG archive transfer & a question about searching".

Too strict a spam filter
14
I am new to managing Groups.io groups. I set up a subgroup that allowed non members to post. I sent a message from a non member account and got this message. Non-member [email protected] attempted to send message "Precinct 8 subgroup test" and the message was rejected because it was determined to be spam via email How do I make the spam filter less strict or alternatively give me a change to review the messages and decide it they show be posted.

is address reverification still taking place?
14
Does anyone know if there is likely to be any further action with the address reverification? It seems like nothing has really happened, or even been mentioned since March. I still have a handful of addresses on my lists that haven't completed the process. I sent emails to them earlier in the year, but never heard anything from any of them. I suspect the addresses are no longer in use. I'm inclined to remove the remaining addresses from my lists. Does anyone know of any reason I shouldn't do that? Originally it was said that these addresses would be removed by the system after some amount of time. It seems to me that more than enough time has gone by. Jonathan

Import content from a groups.io group that's closing?
6
A Mac User group that had been using the free groups.io interface is closing its doors. I'm in a sister group that is absorbing some of its members. Our group has a professional groups.io account and we would like to archive some of the closing group's message content in our account. The closing group has messages and one subgroup. We'd like to archive the main group's messages and bring the subgroup message content into one of our extant subgroups. Can we do that, and if so how? Jonathan Bernstein

I need to change the members account email address, but she no longer has access to the email account
7
Hello guys, very rare situation. But I know I have a group that all allow me to do it. Because it was created back in I believe 2017. I don't remember. But I have a member who got locked out of one of their email addresses, that they use for a lot of groups. We tried recovering the email address, using the recovery method from Google. But we've been very unsuccessful. So I finally decided to bite the bullet and try to go online and change her email address for the Adam panel. However, I got the email address, edit field, where her old address i and it won't let me edit the address. Is that still able to be done with groups that had? Subgroup options and the like? Or do I need to upgrade the group?

Can people have groups.io email addresses?
3
Someone just filled out my congregation's online visitor form and gave their email address as [initials]@groups.io Is that an email address a person could have? Or would using it end up sending our church email to a groups.io group?

Group Sponsorship - displaying the amount collected?
3
Hi, I have just recently converted my group from payed via my credit card to be payed by the group sponsorship function. This worked rather well, the members now nearly have 4 to 5 years of premium membership sponsored. I would like to display that somewhere. I know I can see that value as group admin in the billing section, but I think the members should be able to decide if more sponsorship is needed just before hitting the button. Is there anything I missed or is this a feature request? Thanks, Jens-Uwe
