Group Email Settings have disappeared

Hi,   It appears that the group email settings option has disappeared. I can no longer see this in my production or personal tenants. Can anyone else confirm this please? We are about to implement ...

I'm glad we were able to identify and explain the behavior, and I'm also sorry that you were put in an uncomfortable situation, Lee! 

 

It is always our intention to communicate updates and changes that affect the way you use applications and services as an end user or admin. We balance this with trying not to inundate you with irrelevant information - I was surprised by the number of admins telling us to put less in the Message Center - and it appears we undercommunicated in this case. Feedback like you're providing in this discussion is tremendously helpful so that we can continue improving the notifications and refining our understanding of impact when things change.

    We are still not seeing 'Group Email Settings'.
    Any new information about improvements mentioned above?
    Support materials suggest that it should be in use.

      Hey Dawid,

       

      You should be seeing the options to Subscribe to a Group on Outlook 2016 and Outlook on the Web as shown in the article quoted by you. Are you not seeing them?

       

      As far as the enhancements are concerned, we are working hard towards bringing the enhancements to our users soon. Please keep an eye out for the announcements on public forums, like this one.

        Dear Ravin Sachdeva,

         

        The Outlook on the web article is possibly inaccurate if you're on first release.

        There is no more "Group E-Mail Settings" as before, and the UI has since changed to something more similiar to Outlook 2016. Not even the "Gear" icon exists anymore.

        In my case is two buttons now "Joined" with a dropdown where you can simply subscribe or unsubscribe, and right next to the joined button is the "3-dots-button" with additional Group Settings, but no more Group E-Mail Settings.
