Hi Chris,

 

No, this group was created directly in Outlook 2016 desktop via "Home tab/Groups/New Group" with a privacy setting of "Private with external users".

 

(Incidentally, I am trying this out due to the fact that I'd previously had a similar issue with adding external users to a Team, which did not send the invite email to those users either, so I decided to try to see what the behavior was with just plain O365 Groups)

 

Bob
