Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Teams group email address not working – Why?
There is a wide range of reasons why the Teams group email address may not be working but the common reason why this happens is that you are not allowed to send emails to the channel. This happens when the person who created the Teams channel or is the administrator of the same, has limited the authority of sending emails and other activities to a selected few channel members only.
So if you are faced with such an error, it would be better to try again and even better to contact the channel owner asking about the same so the problem can be solved.
2. Can I Auto-forward Emails to Teams channel members?
Yes, you can auto-forward emails to a particular Teams channel’s members. For this, you will have to learn the Teams channel’s channel address. After this, you can use the help of Outlook to set up a rule that will allow all the emails you receive to be auto-forwarded without your having to do it manually.
