Yahoo Groups Deletion: Requesting Your Groups

You may be able to request your Yahoo Groups directly from Yahoo. It will take several weeks for them to prepare and requests must be submitted before the Dec 14, 2019 deletion date to capture the files and other photos.

What will you get?

1. All of the Groups that you have joined.

2. Every message sent by anyone to those Groups.

3. Messages will be in a mbox format (you can read these Files with Thunderbird Email Program or Via MboxViewer)

4. Only some of the Files or Photos (we have no clue as to how they choose what to include. Photos often are missing)

5. Links (if the Group used them)

Databases and polls are not included.

All Groups will be compressed into one single zipped file.

Yahoo will only include Groups you are a member of up to the date of your request.

How long and how big?

One Yahoo Group member reported that they have finally received a response to the Yahoo “GetMyData"  Request. 

They were a member of 17 Yahoo Groups. It  took Yahoo 10 days and the zipped download file was 1.1 GB  

Warning: Do not rely on this as your sole backup of your Yahoo Group data
