Configuring E-mail sent to a Microsoft Team to Deliver to Team Members

When a Microsoft Team is created, a corresponding Office 365 Group is also created. By default, e-mail sent to the team entry that appears in the Global Address List will deliver to the group mailbox but it will not be sent to members of the team. Team owners can use the instructions below to configure settings so that e-mail sent to the teams' Office 365 group mailbox will be delivered to team members.
