The Sent folder is hidden and AFAIK you can't access it in any way.
To a Group is actually connected a shared mailbox behind the scenes, but you can't access most of its features.
Hence the overall behavior is similar instead to a DL, with obviously the exception of the conversation space (which behind the scenes is actually the shared mailbox inbox).

Playing with replacing a few shared mailboxes at the moment, its so close to making sense for many, but not quite there yet.

I don't think that at the moment Groups can be used to replace shared mailboxes: they lack really most of the needed features.
In fact Microsoft is touting them as a replacement for DLs and not for SMs, AFAIK.
- Brent EllisNov 29, 2016Silver ContributorAgree, but there doesnt appear to be a good reason for why they COULDNT or WONT, by simply adding one or two features.
DLs in my opinion were never what needed to be replaced.
