Group Email Settings have disappeared
MicrosoftHi Lee,
We are currently in the process of refining our O365 Groups email subscription model, to make it even better and efficient. As a consequence, you are no longer able to see the "Group email settings" option in the dropdown, but the functionality of Unsubscribing from group emails still exists!
The option is visible in the screenshot you attached, as well as the group footer that you see in Group emails in your inbox.
In the next few weeks, you'll see changes to this model to make it simpler and more consistent across all Outlook end-points. Trust me, you'll want to be around when it come to your Outlook :)
Please do let me know if have any other questions we can help clarify.
Ok, I'm seeing now same behaviour described by Lee Mayger ... Ravin Sachdeva might I ask you why you have not add a message in the message center describing this change in Groups?
I still have the option. Does the change in the UI also change the users current per group settings for this or do they stay the same?

Juan, this change was introduced to a small set of users for testing and we typically do not announce such changes.
We are doing a lot to improve on the group email subscriptions in Inbox in the next few months based on what we have learnt. Please stay tuned. :)
IMHO even this small changes should be communicated in some way...as you can see in the thread people is asking why this change cc Anne Michels
Yes, even "small" changes can have a big impact to particular organizations. Let's try overcommunicating for a while.
When I was administering an on premise SharePoint farm, I would thoroughly review the details of patches/updates in order to spot changes that may impact my users. The inability to do that with SharePoint Online leads to constant frustration.
