Thanks for all your feedback and sharing your concerns. Our mission is to help you be more productive at your work, and some users complained about their workflows being affected with this change.

Based on the feedback we've seen from our users on this post, we are working on making this option configurable for our users. We are adding a switch which can be toggled by the user to start receiving their sent emails to Groups back in their inbox.

The exact details on how this setting can be used and the timeline for this change will be communicated soon. Thanks for your patience.

Hi Ravin Sachdeva,

Does Microsoft have any plans for enabling this option/adding the toggle to regular distribution lists? I work with a small team and it would be helpful to be able to have something like a staff@ distribution list, but it would definitely confuse my team to have a copy of their own emails appear in their inbox. (We all get enough emails as it is!) I don't want to create an Office 365 Group as that ends up creating unnecessary clutter. We would only use the list for sending emails and managing permissions for our SharePoint site (which is why I created it as a security enabled distribution list).

In the meantime: I know the current solution for this problem is to create rules for each account. Is there a way I can do that all at once as an admin, or would I need access to each person's Outlook/Exchange account?

Thanks,

Becca
