Exporting to google group

[steve22]

It would be really cool if PGOffline is able to export messages to Google Group. Or, may be just function to "Forward All Messages" . Now it only forwards one message at a time.

[Wilson Logan]

Why? In order to port the Yahoo group to a Google group?

It wouldn't work. Sort of... all the messages would appear to come from the person forwarding the messages.

Yes all the messages forwarded has my name instead of the original poster...and puts a tag like YM: (forumname #993 From: Poster Name\ )  in front of the message title.

But I still want to archive all yahoo messages at Google too as a mirror site. Google Group has way better search compared to Yahoo.

It would be nice anyway to have multiple messages forwarding capability in PGOffline for other purpose too.

I hope we're talking about a group you own? It'd be pretty naughty to be doing this with someone else's group.

BTW have you tried the search facility in PGO? Thats one reason I created it, because of Yahoo's crappy search.

Cheers,

Wilson.

[steve22]

yes of course...I won't archive other people's group at Google... I am talking about my own group here :)

Yes PGO search is great...But users won't use PGO to search, instead they want some good online search

thanks a lot for creating PGO!

By "user" I meant general subscribers to YahooGroup.
PGO is a must for admin and moderators, but I believe general subscribers won't purchase a software to search their YahooGroup.

[Wilson Logan]

I created PGO because I wanted a convenient way to read my group messages offline. At the time I had internet access at work but not at home.

It was always designed for users not owners. The owners mods came later as owner requested changes.

As an ordinary user, if you've got less than 8 groups then you might not get the full benefit from PGO but if you've got more than 8 groups to read then I think its well worth 20 bucks.

Cheers,

Wilson.

Agree wilson!

PGO is great software, and you've been keeping it up to date with every changes yahoo make! That's simply great!!

By archiving in google group, I just wanted to make better search available for about 200 of 350 users in my yahoogroup who are subscribed using non-yahoo id.

Capability to support multiple forwarding is surely a thing to add in next versions!

thanks

I too would like to be able to export to google groups. I don't trust Yahoo to do the right thing if they blow up my mailing list.

Hi,

PGO will let you download all the messages with associated email addresses of posters *if* you are the group owner. You must have access to the un-encrypted email addresses of your members.

You should add the group to the PGO group list, right click on it and choose 'Get Members'. Once the members have been loaded, choose Refresh.

Cheers,

Wilson.
