View emails in Microsoft Teams

- If you are wanting notifications in teams there is no way to directly access the activity feed. However you could utilize power automate flows and trigger on new email from the outlook connector and have the Teams Action “post a message as the flow bit to a user” This will send you a chat message from the flow bot letting you know you have a new message, you could even customize the message to include the subject of the email and who it’s from. This should give you a banner notification and chat toast when they come in.
VasilMichevAt least, I wish I could see the emails' notifications. Is there any way? Then when I see the email notification, I open outlook.com.

Thanks. Using your guidance I quickly produced result. I used the "Forward Emails to Chat" Template in Power Automate. I changed the parameters to Flow Bot -> Channel-> [Team I created under Teams] -> [Channel I created for Team] Now my Team "Outlook Inbox" and Channel "Primary" receives emails. It worked like a charm.
It's not super robust, it cuts off emails, but it works for my needs. I just want to check for potentially important emails on phone without needing Outlook app (and everything IT requires to register and use Outlook on my personal device)
- Thank you. It seems that using power automate is the only way for my need.
- Also you could possibly even generate a link to the actual message to click as well
