Is there a way to convert Office 365 group to Shared Mailbox easily? + DL's changing email address
You should be able to delete group and then restore the mail into a new shared mailbox.
$deletedGroup=get-mailbox -SoftDeletedMailbox -GroupMailbox -Filter {name -like "o365groupname*"}
$targetuser=get-mailbox -Identity sharedbox@yourtenant.onmicrosoft.com
New-MailboxRestoreRequest -SourceMailbox $deletedGroup.DistinguishedName -TargetMailbox $targetuser.DistinguishedName -AllowLegacyDNMismatch -Verbose
To show the restore status
Get-MailboxRestoreRequest

Jim Sepanik This worked perfectly. Thank you so much for providing this. It made my life much easier saving all the group emails.
I find it interesting how much extra functionality there is if you are willing to use PowerShell.
