Feature update: Email sending behavior for Groups in Outlook
- Mar 10, 2017
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?
Not sure what else to force as it seems to work as regular groups where the sender is not included...
Hi entilza , no, this is not what I mean. Ask him (or try it yourself) to go to https://outlook.office.com, sign in with his O365 credentials. This should get you into Outlook Web Access (a website that you can use to read your emails instead of the Outlook client). Then click on the cog that is up to the right corner. This should bring up Options, click on "View all settings" and then click on "Groups". It should be self explanatory afterwards.

Well then CWard1974 , my guess would be that the group you are sending to is a distribution group and not an O365 group, since that option seems to do nothhing for you.
- entilzaOct 24, 2019Copper ContributorMaybe your group is a "distribution list" type group? instead of the new "groups"
- entilzaOct 24, 2019Copper ContributorOh my! I found it... Thank you this may help things in future.. Wonderful.
Now this cannot be done through outlook client nor set from admin.. oh boy so many ways to admin this stuff.. - CWard1974Oct 24, 2019Copper Contributor
