Update (7/25/2018):

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,

We are working on getting this implemented and this is currently in our backlog. I will announce on this thread when we are ready to roll this feature out. Thanks for your patience, please bear with us for a bit.

We would not recommend to downgrade to using DLs only because of this feature and lose out on all the great benefits Modern Groups has to offer.

Hi Sachdeva,

Since we've switched to Office 365 Groups we found out about this frustrating issue so I googled a fix and ran into this topic. I'm glad a fix is on the cards.... any update?

That's really really frustrating our users.... We are going to have to go back to DLs...

Hi folks,

We are coming up with a fix for this issue and coding it as we speak. I will get back on this thread when we are ready to release it to production customers.

Thanks for your patience.

Ravin

  Hi Ravin,
  
  Haven't seen any updates in a few months. We'd also greatly appreciate the ability to turn this on or off. Any word on when that might be rolled out?
  
  Thanks!

    Hi folks,
    
    Thanks for patiently waiting for this change. We have this committed in our roadmap, and are actively working on coming up with the most optimal solution. Needless to say, we're trying a couple of different options and when we find the one that works the best we will add it to our Office roadmap and I would also post an ETA on this thread.

  Hi Ravin,
  
  I agree that it should be an option, not enforced globally.
  
  Any update on this? I can not see it also if its under development in Office 365 RoadMap
