Re: [Digital BW] Yahoo migration?

2016-05-05 by Ben Albu

Hi Paul,

I didn't look at it thoroughly, but I guess migrating the archives of 
Yahoo groups would be possible. In fact it seems that is possible to 
migrate the whole Yahoo group.

Searchability won't be a problem. Take a look into this existing group: 
https://groups.io/g/EpsonWideFormat/messages?start=1:2016:-120

R,

Ben

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
