Oops.... - Join a Group after searching for it (and finding it).

You may need to wait a little for the approval to get to you. - You can change how often you receive emails by changing your settings, easy. You can also view all messages on the web, via the My Groups home page. - Ever since last year, it has been possible to add a Group to an event or a Doc, the Groups permissions will apply to that group and its members. Managing the members of the Group will allow you to control who has access to the Doc or the Calendar invite. This is very handy. - You can reconfigure the settings of a Group but it is better and easier to get right from the start. - There are 4 different types of Groups: email list, Web forum, Q&A;, forum, Collaborative inbox. Start from groups.google.com, choose the group type, select your managers and members, provide the permissions. - In the Google Groups business version, you can edit anmd update the name, the URL and the email address on the Group without deleting it and starting over. - Any one can be a member of a Google Group, even without a Google account.
