Introducing 'Follow in inbox' and other improvements for managing group emails in Outlook
I just got off the phone with MS Tech support and they told me the thing i want is not available yet. I hope you can clarify.
Recently a client of ours changed their "old skool" ditribution lists to the new office 365 groups, and they want to use them the same as a distribution list; people send mail to the Office365 group and the members recieve the email in their OWN Inbox.
I noticed someone else in this post asked you teh exact same question; is there a way in powershell to handle this. The only way i found was in the guy and is on a user level. I need to drive to the user / make a remote session to the user, open his/hers Outlook, fould out the groups pane and select the correct group. Than i need to tick an option were it says "Follow in Inbox" and after these manual acts the user will recieve the emails that are send to the Office365 group in their own Inbox.
U told someone earlier that we can manage this trough "Set-UnifiedGroup" with attribute -AutoSubscribeNewMembers, but this is not what we are looking for since this will only enable the following "Subscribed members get conversations and calendar events delivered to their inbox. Otherwise, they'll only see them in the group's inbox."
As you can see "Conversations and calendar events", no email messages.
So, is there a powershell command that works for the emails? Enabling "Follow in Inbox" on the users level?
Hope that clarifies.
- entilzaOct 23, 2019Copper ContributorRavin, please we need Groups to work like Distribution lists. Why cause all this chaos at our office. Should I forward all the "Why don't I see my message in my inboxes" to you?
You want me to tell everyone "Oh now check two inboxes daily" .
"Check all the groups for a new number "
This is not how office workers work... INBOX INBOX INBOX.
Groups is a failure. - Rod_ColeOct 17, 2019Copper Contributor
