Group discussions don't show in email inbox

Should discussions in Office 365 Groups or Classroom be available to read in the email inbox?   Some members of staff claim that it isn't, which means they are unaware of updates to discussions.

To receive group messages in Group members inboxes it's required to configure the subscription option in the Group so a copy of each message posted is sent to Group members inboxes

    Thanks Juan.

     

    I assume this is done in Group settings. Would this work the same way for groups which have been created by Classroom?

     

    How come some Groups have email set to default, and others don't?

      Yea, in group setttings, check the box that says "Subscribe users to...."

       

       

      In Outlook 2016, you really do not need it, as you have groups already in your folder tree, but if people want the email goign to their inbox, they have to subscribe to it, or you can check the box for them

        Thanks again both.

         

        I was certainly able to enable the feature for Office 365 Groups. However, when I attempt to change the settings for groups created in Classroom, I get the following pop-up: 

         

        'The group can't be saved right now. Please try again later.'

         

        Why might it be that Classroom groups cannot have settings changed?
