Hello,

I created a mailing list some time ago, but I wish to change its List Name. This is the only thing I want to change, and I would like to keep the same properties and subscribers. Is it possible? Or I have to create a whole new mailing list with the new List Name?

Thanks!

Leo

I believe you need to create a new list and import your subscribers which should be easy if your list is not too large by cut and paste.

This link should have some tips:

There isn't really a "rename" action. You actually have to create a new list, export your subscriber list from the old list, and then import the subscriber list into the new list.

When/if you delete the old list, all the files belonging to the old list will be deleted. So you might want to back up anything such as archives, or the Log file with the records of all the subscriber requests and so on...before deleting the old list.

The following should also help:
