Is there a "Sent" folder for an O365 Group Conversation?
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).
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.
- Agree, 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.It's simply what the team has decided, and to be honest I havent heard a single good argument around this. I've given the example with Junk email numerous times, the Sent items is another valid reason why people would actually want access to folders. So is subfolders.
Just avoid using groups as replacement for shared mailbox, there are numerous limitations to such scenario.
