Group Email Settings have disappeared
Hi, It appears that the group email settings option has disappeared. I can no longer see this in my production or personal tenants. Can anyone else confirm this please? We are about to implement ...
IMHO even this small changes should be communicated in some way...as you can see in the thread people is asking why this change cc Anne Michels

IMO this is an epidemic across Microsoft services.
I've got two instances of this same line of thinking that brought down/disrupted business critical services for us, and required Premier Support to resolve, for what Microsoft deemed insignificant changes that did not require any communication (one regarding S4B phone system and one for AAD). Not to mention the countless subtle changes that we just live with as part of the new Microsoft world.
Major end-user focused stuff is typically communicated well at this point in time, but all of the subtle things, and especially the back-end things are the things where we feel the most pain.

I agree with Brent. Making this kind of change without flagging it is stupid. It causes disruption for tenant administrators without good cause. By all means improve functionality, but don't withdraw something without replacing it with the new and improved code. And always tell people. It's disappointing that the Groups team, which is usually pretty good at flagging changes, made a **bleep**-up here.
