There are two scenarios:

(1) If you want to keep the original mailing list working (yahoogroups), then you can simply create a forum archive for it. Users wouldn't need to change anything and could continue to use the mailing list as always, but would also have the option to post through the forum interface.

(2) If you want to get rid of the yahoogroups mailing list, then first you have to create a forum at Nabble and let your friends know about it. You can click on "Options > Users > Manage subscribers" to see who is subscribed and also invite more people. When everybody is ready at Nabble, then you can shut down the old list and use the forum normally.

Please check if you can export your yahoogroups list into a mbox file. We can import this file and have all old messages archived here.

Please let me know if you have more questions, comments or concerns.
