MM3-3.3.7, Hyperkitty-1.3.6
While importing, I encountered several of this error:

That occurred several times, but the import process went all the way, to 99% then came to the point below.

Should I take it that the import was successful, or what should I do next?
PS: This is the 1st run after installing MM3 on this server and the MM3 list hasn't gone live. So if anything, I am okay with doing what needs to be done and rerun the import.
TIA

That's a 4-byte utf-8 encoding for an emoji. MySQL and MariaDB have to be told to accept 4-byte encodings.
In the DATABASES['default'] definition, you need to set 'OPTIONS': {'charset': 'utf8mb4'}
Also, although it doesn't affect this, see https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/docs/databa...
You might also need to modify the tables, particularly hyperkitty_email with something like
ALTER TABLE hyperkitty_email
DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4,
MODIFY subject varchar(512)
CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci,
MODIFY content
CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

I added that:

I read this too. Did not pick much from there.

ALTER TABLE hyperkitty_email DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4, MODIFY subject varchar(512) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci, MODIFY content CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
So I removed my list, dropped the database, and proceeded as follows:
create database mailmansuite CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_0900_ai_ci; ALTER TABLE hyperkitty_email DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4; ALTER TABLE hyperkitty_email MODIFY subject varchar(512) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci; ALTER TABLE hyperkitty_email MODIFY content longtext CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci; ALTER TABLE hyperkitty_email MODIFY sender_name varchar(255) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci; ALTER TABLE hyperkitty_email MODIFY in_reply_to varchar(255) CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
I did all those (although looks overzealous) just to be on the safe side. I have seen people putting emojis in their names.
After that, I did the mailman-web migrate, created the list, imported the config from MM2 and then proceeded to import the archives. However, the errors still are there, and several messages were not imported
- I have several "failed to import" warnings.

It therefore means I have several broken threads in the archives. I am still willing to try other solutions if they are suggested.
And what do I make of the final error - *hyperkitty.models.thread.Thread.DoesNotExist: Thread matching query does not exist*. ??

I have no idea what would cause this in a newly created database with no archives before running hyperkitty_import.

Do you have the OPTIONS setting in your DATABASES definition in settings.py?
Here is what I have tested lately in settings.py:
# MySQL Database setup DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', 'NAME': 'mailmansuite', 'USER': 'mm3', 'PASSWORD': 'XXXXXXXXX', 'HOST': 'localhost', 'PORT': '', 'OPTIONS': { 'init_command': "SET sql_mode='STRICT_TRANS_TABLES'", 'charset': 'utf8mb4', }, } }
I have dropped the DB, recreated, run the 'migrate', created the list, imported config from MM2. However, nothing seems to be able to address the errors with importing the archives.

Yes. That is what I do at the minimum for my databases unless specific instructions exist against it. So it seems like I have done everything that is commonly expected, but the import still fails on several messages.

It turns out that all this time I was barking up the wrong tree! I was having all my modifications in /etc/mailman3/*. When I did run 'mailman info', the information that came out is that mailman was actually reading /opt/mailman/mm/mailman.cfg I then just moved all the files I had put in /etc/mailman3/ to /opt/mailman/mm/.
There is a WARNING on https://docs.list.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html#virtualenv-install which says one must create the config file as /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg How to force mailman to read that file is something I haven't understood, but turns out to be what has taken me days trying to get things right.
Ultimately, when I did the import, there was only one email from the archives that failed to be imported - which I honestly don't mind, but maybe there is a solution for this "'utf-8' codec can't encode character '\udcae' in position 331: surrogates not allowed" ??

If you run the mailman command without any -C option, it will look for
a config in /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg

If you provide a copy of that message from the mbox, either on the list or to me directly, I'll investigate.

In my case, running mailman without any arguments just makes it grok :)

That's because it first looks in the current directory for mailman.cfg
and only if it doesn't find it there does it look in /etc/mailman3.

The offending message is multipart with an attached message/rfc822 part and that part has a preamble which in bytes is
b'This document is a Single File Web Page, also known as a Web Archive file. If you are seeing this message, your browser or editor doesn't support Web Archive files. Please download a browser that supports Web Archive, such as Windows\xae Internet Explorer\xae.'
The '\xae' is an iso-8859-1 encoding for '®', but no charset is
specified for this preamble so email message parsing ends up decoding
those as surrogates '\udcae' which throws the exception when
hyperkitty.lib.incoming.add_to_list() in trying to save the attachment
does att.set_content(content).
Normally, when messages to be archived arrive from core via mailman_hyperkitty, the surrogates are replaced by email.utils._sanitize(), but this doesn't happen with messages from hyperkitty_import.

And that happens because I have all my config files in /opt/mailman/mm/. So if I moved all of them to /etc/mailman3/ it would settle for that? I will test it.

I am glad it's an email that is probably overtaken by events. However, the good thing is that I will have the archives from MM2 still accessible once I move to MM3.

"mailman start" (at least) ALSO will create an empty config in var/etc/mailman.cfg. This cause me a lot of pain until I linked the mailman user's $HOME/var/etc/mailman.cfg to /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg.
I will report this in a few hours if nobody else gets to it first.
