This did not work for me. Whenever I click on step 4 "Conversations" I get redirected to my own inbox. I have tried clicking Conversations on groups that have email already, and I get redirected to the Outlook Group.
This is a bug. Microsoft has again managed to create an unexplainable loop in their ecosystem that for the regular user creates a terrible and frustrating experience.
Not having an email for a group I have created through Teams is one of the many reasons why we may leave MS 365 for good.

GoceR Trying to wrap my head around Msft's peculiar logic too.
First roadblock is that the channel email address provided in Teams isn't what you need. It has to be <groupname>@tenant.onmicrosoft.com not the @amer.teams.ms address. But of course Msft doesn't tell you that anywhere....
You can get to the settings for that either as mentioned above or via the Azure portal at /Microsoft_AAD_IAM/GroupDetailsMenuBlade/Overview...
But even when I change the settings as below, I still don't get the email in my own inbox. Is that because I'm sending the email? Who knows....Really, Msft, get off your a** and make this a bit more usable. Clearly the capability is there - you just have to de-Microsoft the process.
