Hi Teresa, You can find a single page listing of all the Google Groups you belong to using the URL: http://groups.google.com/groups/mysubs?hl=en_US&pli=1 This page has the entries for "Manage My Memberships". There's a link to "My Google Account" that will let you change your email address, password, or nickname. Continue to navigate through the page to find your entries, which are form controls, for each one of the Google Groups you subscribe to, with your nickname, and pop up menus for your email address and subscription type. Here you can change your subscription options, for example, to "No email", "Digest email", "Abridged email", or "Unsubscribe". For some of the other options, you have to use the "My Google Account" link. The pop up menu for changing your email to an alternate email address on this page only works if those alternate email addresses are available from your main "My Google Account" settings -- you can't type in a new option directly on this page for managing your settings if you're entering completely new information for your account. But you can visit this page to turn off email temporarily while you're away on vacation, or opt for the digest format. And if you want to shift the list subscription email to a different email, you can visit the "My Google Account" link, make the changes and add other valid email addresses, and then come back to this page and set the pop up menu for that address.
If you are not logged into your Google Groups account, when you try to use the URL link for managing your membership settings, you'll be prompted to log in with your email address and password. The email address you type in here is the email address you used when you created your Google Groups account. It does not have to be a gmail address, and it may not be your current email address. The current email that you want to use by default is one of the account settings that you can change in this process, if you use the "My Google Account" link on the page for managing your membership settings. To log out from your Google account, you need to navigate to the menu pop up link that has your name. (This is in the old Google Groups page layout, so it might be different for you.) You could use item chooser menu (VO-I) and type in your name (e.g., "Teresa"), then navigate to the first match in the menu and press return, which will be the menu pop up link in question. Then VO-Space or else simultaneously press the up and down arrow keys if using Quick Nav mode to activate the link. The navigate to "sign out" and activate that option with VO-Space, etc. Alternatively, you can set your rotor to links, and use your arrow keys to navigate through your links menu entries. On the old Google Groups layout I see links for "Mail", "Calendar", "Documents", "Photos", "Sites", "Groups", "Search", "More", and then my name, and "Options", followed by a link for "Switch to the new Google Groups". That menu pop up link for "Options" is what shows up as the "gear menu" in the Google Groups help descriptions. HTH.
