  I am interested in using the email subscription service that is included in the latest Jetpack update. However, I want to be able to import my current subscribers, so they don’t have to bother with resubscribing. Is this possible?

  Hi there,

  It’s not really possible to import subscribers from other plugins at this time.

  Your subscribers will need to submit their email addresses, and confirm their subscription, in order to subscribe through the new Jetpack feature.

  I don’t suppose it would be possible to hack a file and insert the list? I wouldn’t be above doing that, if necessary.

  Subscription through Jetpack is a user-powered feature, so they would need to subscribe themselves.

  Alternatively, you could manually enter their email addresses one by one into the email field on the subscriber widget, but they would still need to confirm the subscription themselves.
