I'm writing on Feb. 23, 2021, more than a year later and we still do NOT have a way to send an email to all MS Teams' team members. people are hard to change. Email is "official" when at Universities, Teams is NOT. I'd appreciate an integration to be rolled out: I want to email all my Teams' members. Please, MicroSoft, Make it happen! Thank you!

  Well, actually you can email all your team's members. Depending on settings at tenant level (if I am right), every team has a shared mailbox available, like 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿-𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺-𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲@𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿-𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗻𝘁-𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲.𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁.𝗰𝗼𝗺
  
  Hope this helps you.

Unfortunately, this wasn’t a feature announced at Ignite. The integration they announced was pulling an email into a Teams channel or pushing a Teams conversation into an email.

It wasn’t the integration of the outlook or outlook on the web experience into Teams, making it an app, pinning it to the app bar etc. The only full app experience which was announced was Yammer.

It remains to be seen if the full Outlook experience will follow the POC. Lots of people want to see that but Microsoft haven’t committed to that.

As you can see here that is still under review

  ChrisHoardMVP I stand corrected. I thought I had seen the Outlook icon on the left-hand rail in one of the sessions.

    Haha no doubt they had probably just done that POC themselves!
