If your ISP has some kind of SPAM filtering, you might want to check your
junk folder, maybe accessing your email account from your ISP's web-based
email interface, just to be sure.

The malformed email address is not a problem with Google but with the email
client that was used to send the email. Check your settings. There are over
122 people on the Google version of G-Books so it seems to be working.

OK, there is what I posted to the Google groups. That should clear up
everything:

 Hello everyone. Twice, I have received personal email (blasted to
 individuals signed up for the google group I think) about issues with
 the google groups list.
 
 List nannies - get your act together - some people seem to be having
 trouble signing up and once signed up they have no clue as to how to
 unsubscribe.
 
 I'm signed up for this list but want the digest mode.  How do I get it?

OK, here are some clarifications from what I did experience. There seems to
be some confusion on the Google website about how to subscribe to groups and
manage your subscription from a non-Google email account.

For those that are subscribed from their Gmail account, please ignore this.

For all the others, here is what I did again.

You first need to send an email from the account you want to subscribe to
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. You'll receive a confirmation email
and you just have to reply to it.

Then, go to http://groups.google.com/. From that page, click the Join
link next to New users. On the next page, enter your current email
address, the one you just subscribed. Choose a password and customize your
profile if you want. Then, click the I accept. Create my account. button
at the bottom of the page. You will get another confirmation for your
account creation. You can again reply to that confirmation or click the
hyperlink in it. When creating an account for my Fannie Mae email address, I
did click the hyperlink.

Then, open a new browser tab or window or enter the Google Groups link
http://groups.google.com/. From that page, now click the Sign in link
next to Members.

When I want to sign in with my
Gmail account, I just enter my user ID without the domain, e.g.
'laurent.daudelin' (my Google email address is
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]').

If I want to manage my Fannie Mae email address account, I first sign out if
I'm signed in then I enter my full Fannie Mae email address in the email
field, e.g. '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', along with my password. That's
working perfectly so far. Using Safari, if I type enough characters to
identify my Gmail account, it sets the password for that account
automatically. Very handy.

Once you signed in, you should see the G-Books group under All my groups
since you already subscribed to that group with your email address. Click
the G-Books link. Then, if you want to change your subscription (switch to
digest, email, etc.), click the Unsubscribe or change membership link next
to Start a new topic. The next page should be pretty obvious. Save your
settings and you're set.

-Laurent.

Google Groups ... you're kidding, right?

2006-02-11 Thread Geoffrey Peters

Stardate 060211.08:08 -0500. A subspace message from Dan Knight reads:


We're slowly moving the Low End Mac email lists from Maclaunch to
Google Groups, which we see as a real improvment.


Well, that's very disappointing.

I thought I'd found a nice little community-driven mailing list, I 
join, and within a week it decides to downgrade and become submerged 
in the dank depths of the Grey Empire known as Google.


I've been on four other lists in the past that started off on normal 
listservers, moved to Google (or Yahoo Groups in one case) only to 
experience frustration in its use, then watch the list stagnate  
eventually die because it become lost in the crowd.


With reluctance I signed up; I sent off my subscription mail, then 
confirmed the activation via the web page, and itold me I was now a 
member. A few hours later, a question came in from GG, I could answer 
it, so I did, and hit send. A minute later, I get an autoreply. You 
do not have permission to post to group g-books. You may need to join 
the group before being allowed to post,


Whiskey tango foxtrot??

Sorry guys, but I'll stick with G-Books on MacLaunch until it dies. 
You won't see me on Google, because frankly, it sucks more than 
Microsoft.
