How to Control Sending Email to Teams Channels
TonyRedmond I recently accepted the offer to use the new TEAMS. However there is an initial feature that doesn't work well with how I use TEAMS. Earlier version: For each channel select "Get email address: presented a selection box where I could copy the address and paste it wherever I needed it. Customers could then use that address to send email to the channel. New TEAMS: select "GEt email address" bring up a box with the address with the option to copy as before BUT there is now a default restriction that "only members of this team" can send emails. There is now an "advanced settings" link which opens a settings box where I have the options of "Anyone can send email to this address" or "Only members of this team" or "Only email sent from these domains". While this is a really great feature for those who need the restrictions, having it set by default to "Only members of this team" is a great problem for me. How can I set the default selection to "Anyone can send emails to this address"? For each channel create I have to remember to go into this routine before providing the email to anyone or I will not receive their email. To me a great big problem.
Feel free to lobby Microsoft, but I bet they made this change as a response to customer feedback.
