    I am adding a csv file of about 2400+ users to my amember_member table with the amember user import pages. Does this send out the standard greeting email to all users so they can login to their profiles as well as change their passwords?

    yes.
    But I suggest you do a test import of your own 1 or 2 test emails before doing the full 2400.
    In fact, you may want to split the list into 3 parts to avoid a possible import crash if your server cant handle that much importing at one time.

    I just did a test at your suggestion, there were some formatting issues but fixed all that up. Still though, my single user that I imported never got an email. I noticed the status was set to expired but went to active after the DB rebuild. Still no email though.

    Expire- Sounds like a bug.
    As for email, whats your email setting, - eg send email on signup?
    Send email on day 0?

    Hi,
    aMember does not send any emails when you import.
    So you should email users manually from amember CP -> Email users after import.

    Thanks for the replies,

    We already have 3300+ users. Is there a way I can pick the new users out of a crowd? I'm considering, importing all the users, sending the emails to all expired users and hitting rebuild DB so they all go active.

    You can import users and assign them to new product then email just users of that product.
