If they are joomla users, then you can batch subscribe them through the backend. If they are not, just export them to csv and import them through mailchimp - it would be way easier

Hi Daniel
Thanks for the quick reply....
Yes I had a nightmare with Joomlamailer.... I cloned a site to build a new one and when i removed all the users from community builder I didnt realise i had the mailer plugin set to unsubscribe the users lesson learned.
I want to move our sites to CMC as looks the better plugin and you at least respond to your forum so thank you very much for that.

1) OK so are you saying I could RESUBSCRIBE users to the SAME list? i thought mailchimp API blocked that with a 212 error saying already unsubscribed. or is that not the case with CMC?

TBH Ive now created a brand new list and have now started reimporting them all via csv import and am hoping if I just unsubscribe them from the old list well keep most of the campaign and user data/reports

thanks
Jonathan
