[New!] Drag and drop conversations into groups
Good news! We're currently rolling out drag and drop for messages and conversations into groups in Outlook on the web first for First Release customers, then Standard release customers. It's much easier to explain with a GIF: Support for Outlook 2016 for Windows is coming soon--stay tuned. You can find the documentation here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/24e809db-70e1-45b7-8d54-efac7951dc95Introducing 'Follow in inbox' and other improvements for managing group emails in Outlook
The latest set of updates for Groups in Outlook introduces new ways to manage the group emails you receive in your inbox. These updates are, in large part, based on customer feedback about the Groups subscription model. That model has now been replaced with Follow in inbox. Read more on these feature improvements in our Outlook blog post. We are rolling out these improvements in a phased manner. So, if you don’t see these improvements in your version of Outlook yet, please be patient. We’ll get these features to you soon! Thank you for all the feedback. Let us know what you think of these latest updates.
Convert O356 Group to personal mailbox
Im trying to convert a O365 group to a personal mailbox. I'll do it manually, because I know that there is no way to do this in Exchange Center. My O365 group is client1@mydomain.com. I already created a personal mailbox named client1-mail@mydomain.com So this is my plan: Migrate all the mails from the group to the personal mailbox Change group mailbox alias to client1-old@mydomain.com Change personal mailbox alias to client1@mydomain.com Do you think this is possible? is the best approach? and finally, is there a way to send all the O365 old mails to the personal mailbox? Thank you in advance and sorry about my english.
Is there another option t ensure that mail is delivered to all group members
With O365 groups you can enable the option "Send all group conversations and events to members' inboxes. They can stop following this group later if they want to". With this option enabled you're initially sure that when sending an email to the group email address using Outlook Desktop or Web, all members will receive the message. However as the option mentions, members can individually stop following the group and no longer receive emails send to the group mail address. Is there a way (option/power shell) to prohibit/overwrite the user opt out choice? Our use case > we want to use Office Groups & corresponding email address to inform group members, instead of creating another/duplicate Distribution List in Exchange (EOL) to inform departmental teams. If we can't be sure that all group members receive the comms we need to create a dedicated DL in EOL and have as such 2 member lists to maintain.
