Troubleshooting & FAQs
- Why can't I delete the 'General' subscription list? The 'General' group is your default mailing list and is essential for core newsletter functionality, so the system prevents its deletion.
- If I delete a list, are the subscribers also deleted? No, the subscribers are generally moved to another active list (like 'General') or remain in the overall subscriber database but are no longer categorized under the deleted list name.
