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 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.

Regards,

I not only don't receive emails I send to one of the new groups in my inbox, I don't receive messages anyone else does either, only in the group folder, not in my inbox, even though I am running Outlook 2016, latest build, and I have the Following in Inbox option on!

I can ONLY see emails in the group, not in my inbox, whether I follow the group or not! I am one of the owners of the group, and the original creator!

What's going on?

Waiting for the feature " to receive e-mails sent to a group in Inbox, when you are part of that group"
Kindly enable this configuration under group owner settings, instead of asking every group member to configure .

To receive group e-mails in inbox instead of reading from a group folder, every member has to select 'Follow in inbox ', It would be better even if this feature could be configurable by group owner.
