Distribution List from Teams group
Hi antoam7
See here
You can convert a Distribution List to a Microsoft 365 Group (What Teams is based on) however, you cannot convert a Microsoft 365 Group back to being a Distribution List. You would have to setup another DL in the Exchange Admin Centre or Microsoft 365 Admin Centre
Create and manage distribution groups in Exchange Online | Microsoft Docs
Hope that answers your question
Best, Chris
antoam7 Can you describe the use case in a little more detail? Why do you need a DL if you have a Team and thus can write posts in the Team's channels?
MagnusGoksoyrOLDProfile to allow external people to send email to the related DL
antoam7OK, and I assume you don't want to invite these external users as guests in the team? If not, it could be a solution ( but, without for that matter recommending it or saying that it is a good one, it's actually quite ugly, to let the external users send e-mails to a channel. However, this has some limitations and requires that the configuration allows it. You can read more about it here:
Send an email to a channel in Teams (microsoft.com)
However, my recommendation is that you add the external people as guests to the team and that you have the dialogue in channels in teams instead of communicating via e-mail (if the business case allows and enables this).
- the scenario is an internal team of my company that should be able to receive mails from all the people of the company, what would u suggest in this case? thank you so much
