Resolution

Here’s how to access archived messages:

  2. Click Messages in the "Group Settings" section.
  3. Click Edit next to "Postings and Archives".
  4. Under archive options:
    • Select Anyone if you want to make your message archive completely public (which allows you to create an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed for your group and makes it more likely that new users can discover your group through search engines).
    • Select Members if you want to restrict access to the group to just members.
    • Select Moderators to limit access to just moderators.
    • Select Off to turn off archiving for the group completely
