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?
As old as this is why does it still not work or am I missing something? When I send to a group I get my own email and I'd rather not as I know what I sent it's in my sent folder I don't need it in my inbox too unless I purposely send it to myself.
So our office has printers that we can scan from to a "group" if the user selects their "From" address they don't get the scan!!
I am going to have to change everything to Distribution Lists... Groups is a big failure...
