If you're working with a Microsoft 365 Group and have an external collaborator who needs to participate in the group and receive emails sent to it, here's how you can set it up:

1. Add the External Collaborator to the Microsoft 365 Group:

   • Go to your Microsoft 365 admin center or Outlook on the web.
   • Navigate to the Microsoft 365 Group you want to add the external collaborator to.
   • Within the group settings, look for the option to add members or collaborators.
   • Add the external collaborator's email address to the group.

2. Configure External Sharing:

   • Make sure your organization's external sharing settings are appropriately configured to allow external users to join groups or access content.

3. Invitation and Acceptance:

   • The external collaborator will receive an invitation email to join the Microsoft 365 Group.
   • They need to accept the invitation and follow any on-screen prompts to set up their access.

4. Accessing the Group and Emails:

   • Once the external collaborator has accepted the invitation, they should have access to the Microsoft 365 Group.
   • They can access group conversations, files, and other group-related content.
   • Emails sent to the group will be delivered to their email inbox.

5. Review Group Settings:

   • Review the permissions and access levels assigned to the external collaborator within the group.
   • Make sure they have the appropriate level of access based on their role and responsibilitieshttp://www.bokma.de

It's important to note that allowing external collaborators access to your internal communication and content should be done cautiously to ensure data security and privacy. Be aware of your organization's policies and any potential compliance concerns when sharing information with external parties.
