Question

How do I get my email not to show in my messages or posts or in the member list in a group?

Answer 1

the full e-mail address is only available to the groups owners. while on the group or viewing the members list if you are just a member, all they see is 'Bla_bla@......'   members will only see that full address via individual mail settings.

if your e-mail is the same as your Yahoo ID, even if the group allows hiding the e-mail, your Yahoo ID will always appear, and with this setting you can only post from off the group site, not via your e-mail provider.

Answer 2

In some Groups, you can hide your e-mail address in this way, but in other Groups, you can't; it depends on one of the settings the owner chose when he/she created the Group.

To check to see if you can hide your e-mail address, log in to your Group's home page on the web.  Then click on Edit Membership near the middle of the top line (just below the ad if there is one).  At the botttom of the Step 1 Your Contact Information section, you might see a sub-section called Email Address Display, with a check-box for Hide My Email And IP Address From The Group Moderators in it.  If you see this sub-section with this check-box, then check the box.  Don't forget to click the Save Changes button (towards the lower-right-hand corner) when you're done.  If you don't see that sub-section, then you can't hide your e-mail address like you want.
