Question

If I change the setting in my group to hide e-mail addresses, can members still conact eachother?

Answer 1

If you change the setting, you allow members to hide their email addresses.  When they join the group, they have a selection to either hide or show their email address.  So anyone who displays their email address will be able to be contacted that way.  If the email address is hidden, members can still contact each other via the group and also via instant messenger, if they use that.  Also, if this is an existing group, members would have to edit their membership to change to hiding their email address.  (Note that you lose the polls section when you select this option and that you can't change this selection back in the future.)

Answer 2

they wont unless they know the address or attempt via yahoo ID which is not hidden. all incoming mail for those who hide addresses will say no_ [e-mail]- they all end up this by Yahoo default.

also, if you use the polls at all, you will loose that feature and this hiding e-mail is non reversible group setting choice- you wont be able to change it back

Answer 3

not unless all the posting from your group go to there inbox..but once you hide it in your group they can't see anyone
