I know the Rossi folks were very pleased with the process for migrating 
from Yahoo to IO. They had a few blips but managed to migrate almost 20 
years of emails and photos. They did lose some of the division of photos 
into albums from the Yahoo site but evidently had enough information 
that they were able to restore a lot of that.

I have no idea if there is support for moving from something like 
Mailman but it worked well from Yahoo which already had a group format. 
And of course I have no idea what it will be like moving forward if they 
decide to leave IO or if IO checks out but I think they considered that 
in the process of choosing a service so it might be worth taking a look.

Best,
Mary Lou

When we got the Rosborough, the owners email list was on Yahoo groups which I hated. A couple of years later Yahoo abandoned groups with a enough notice for group members to look for other solutions. They did a fairly seamless migration, including all their photos and data files to groups.io dating back to 2001. It is not free but we were able to take donations and come up with two years worth of subscription in a day or two.

It would not take the place of the website as envisioned here but could give a more modern look,  management and security to the email list and would probably integrate well with the website. Might take a bit of the management load off the website as well.
