MicrosoftFeature update: Email sending behavior for Groups in Outlook
Nicholas Williams - No, there is no effect to group subscription options with this change. Subscribed users will continue to receive all group conversations, messages and events in their inbox as usual.
The only effect of this change will be on the sender of the messages to groups as below.
Old behavior
I send a message to a group, or reply back to a message from a group. Message is delivered to the group and is available in the group's conversation archive. I would also receive my message in back my inbox.
Revised behavior
I send a message to a group, or reply back to a message from a group. Message is delivered to the group and is available in the group's conversation archive. I would NOT receive my message in back my inbox.
Would be great if you can help us understand why your users are complaining with this change? What additional benefit does it provide to users when they receive their sent email back again in their inbox? Is it just a confirmation that the message was delivered to the group?
Ravin Sachdevasorry for necroing old thread but it's the sole lead I got and I just ran face-on into this while moving my organization to O365 from competition. Is there a config option somewhere? In my case, the senders are getting messages they sent, and they don't want to. I have about 3 offices worth of people crowing at me in my basement now...
TadeuszKMsee the post by Dimitris Kavallaris above: In OWA there is now an option to turn this on/off.
datpeteso it only works for "O365"-type Groups? In our case, we were setting them up as "list" type, since we DON'T need any extra features or workspaces (frankly speaking, we find them detrimental to our workflow), but do need the chance to have the address work for external senders… sigh, so I assume the only way would be to use rules to trash self-spam...
