UPDATE: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups moving beyond First Release
MicrosoftHi Sloane - can you tell us more about where you are seeing that error? What are you trying to do? Create a new site (with a group) from SharePoint? The error you are describing is related to the Site Mailbox feature and not Office 365 Groups.
I created a new private sharepoint site through office365, and I am trying to create a private mailbox (like on my other team and private sites) where only site members can access the mailbox.
I'm trying to create a new MAILBOX on a site's group, so all members can simply log into the site to view the emails.

From where did you create the site? Is Office 365 Group creation enabled in your environment? And do you know if in SharePoint you have group-connected sites as the default type of site that gets provisioned?
ssquires as FYI.
I created the site via Sharepoint online portal. It is labeled a "Private group". Group creation is enabled, we have been able to create groups in the past with a unique email attached to them.
I got an email after creating it containing this:
<Group Name>
Private group 2 Members
Welcome to the <Group Name group.
<Group Name>'s sharepoint site
Take part in conversations
Engage with your group using Outlook.
View and share files
View, edit, and share all group files, including email attachments.

Check out the team site
Discover, share, and collaborate on content in SharePoint.

Ok great! That looks like the welcome email for an Office 365 Group, and should mean that the mailbox is already there for you to use. Are you able to click on 'Conversations' from the team site? Or can you navigate directly to the Group's mailbox from the welcome email?
