Click on .. be your team and choose 'View Team', find the settings tab on the left and turn on the options for @team and @channel.

Thanks. Definitely overthinking it. I was half a mile deep in Office 365 Admin portal settings.
I am still not sure it is working right though, or maybe I don't understand how it should. Using an @mention in the Teams does call out their name in the conversation, but they do not get an email. This is different from how @mentions work in Planner threads or Outlook 365 groups.
And in Planner, @all gets tags everyone, and here @teams does. A bit inconsistent IMHO.
But thanks for the pointer to the configuration. :smileyhappy:

Is this true? Does an @team mention not send emails to everyone on the team? Is there anyway in Teams to have an email notification sent to everyone in the team?

I'm sure Ed Hansberry was right back in 2016 when he wrote that, but at Teams development rate you found a fossil.
If you dont view a notification within Teams within an hour or so you'll get an email telling you about it, and how you ought to be reading Teams. Its more of a nag than a notification :)
