• Q. What is the posting link for my GoogleGroup?
• A. Post at: http://groups.google.com/group/GROUPNAME/post



• Q. Where is the GoogleGroups help page?
• A. Go to http://www.google.com/googlegroups/about.html

• A. Go to http://groups.google.com/googlegroups/posting_terms.html



• Q. Is there an official GoogleGroups support group?
• A. Yes. http://groups.google.com/group/google-labs-groups2



• Q. How Can I Mirror My Yahoogroup at GoogleGroups?
• A.
  • 1. Get or set up an e-mail forwarder.
  • 2. Set the forwarder to forward to YOURGROUP@googlegroups.com
  • 3. Subscribe the forwarder to YOURGROUP@googlegroups.com
  • 4. Set it to "Web Only" on your Googlegroups subscription. (This is important to avoid a mail loop. GGs may have a loop checker in place, but better safe than sorry.)
  • 5. Subscribe it to your Yahoogroup, as "Individual e-mail" (the verification will go to your googlegroup, click on the link and choose "subscribe to mailing list")
  • That should work. If you can't find a forwarder, try Yahoo.ie or Yahoo.co.uk, both free offer both pop3 and forwarding. http://mail.yahoo.ie or http://mail.yahoo.co.uk
  • This works for now, but there are no guarantees in the future.
