If a user has more than one email address associated with their Google account, Google Groups only accept one of those emails in the membership list. The user can choose which account the group should send emails to by clicking on the button that has a picture of a silhouette and cog wheel, and then choosing "Membership and email settings" from the drop-down menu.
