We are in the process of changing our email address again (long story), but my question is in regards to the yahoo groups BB's. I have my yahoo groups set up so that I get an email of each post. I was able to change my email address in my profile, but I can't find a way to change my email address to have post sent to. I did a search of the archives and found the instructions Dallas posted for me the last time, but it looks like yahoo has made some changes.  Any help appreciated. Thanks Jack

Jack,
From the front page of your favorite Yahoo Group,

you will see the name of the group and above it your name and email address. Next to that you will see "edit membership"

Click on that.

In Step one of edit membership you will see "Your Contact Information"

Scroll down and you will see "email address"

That will list your email adderesses that you use for that group.

Just below that you will see in small letters: "Add New Email Address"

Click on that, then fill in your new address on the next page.

Click on "Continue"

The next page may ask you to verify your signin and password, do and go to next page.

Now you will get a page that says,

We just sent a verification email to the alternate email address listed below. It's easy to activate your account for use with all of Yahoo!'s services.
     1.    Check your email at the following address for a message from "Yahoo! Member Services":
Old4103@gmail.com
     2.    Click the link labeled "Important!" in this email to return to Yahoo!.
     3.    Enter your password and your account will be activated!
   You must follow the above steps now in order to use Yahoo! Groups. If you're having difficulty returning to Yahoo! with the link inside the email we just sent to you, click here to enter the verification code contained in that email.


After you follow those directions, go back to the first page and start again,

This time, scroll down to "Email address" and check the one you want to use.

And that should do it.

Thanks Dallas,
     I was trying to change the email addresses from My Groups home page instead of from each individual group page.  Jack

PS: I have printed and filed your step by step instructions.  I figgger I will probably sleep before I need to do this again, and well as I get older my memory---What was I gonna say!   ;D

Jack,
You can change all of your group emails after you change the first one by going to:

my groups>
Edit my groups>
Then in the middle column under email addresses, use the drop down lists to redirect each one to your new email.

good Luck,
Dallas
