Once you have your Yahoo ID and you have associated all your groups with it
then you will need to edit your account for mail preference
When you go to
http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups
You will see this screen, but it will have all your yahoo groups
Click on the "Edit My Groups" Link
And you will get this screen
You can now set each group for the email address and way you want to view it
Either Individual Emails, Digest, Or no Email
There wasn't that easy?
Also at the top of the page on your groups page you will see in the top right hand
corner a place to set up your profile that will appear at Yahoo
http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups
Click on that link and it will take you to your account and you can edit your profile there.
I hope all of this has helped.
Look for more help pages soon.
