In the administration center, I see all the groups I created as 365 groups, and they all have an email address connected to it (groupname
intranet.domain.se). I thought that this email could be used as a 365 group email, where it would show up in outlook for all the members. But when i try to add a group, it throws me to Yammer instead. OK. So I googled like a madman and in some posts, it seems like it should end up in the Yammer-feed for said group, in other posts it says I have to send the mail to groupname+
intranet.domain.se yammer.com. This is not very user friendly... *EDIT: Also, the groupname
intranet.domain.se shows up in the global address list, which will cause a lot of confusion to users.*
And by the way. I've set up logos for each group (png's with black logo on transparent backgrounds), and it's just a horrible experience. In sharepoint, the background is black, meaning the logo is ALL black. But in yammer, it looks like it should with white background.

As it is now, when we get a new member I have to add that member to a group in sharepoint, yammer (365 group), and now a distribution list. That will be too much, and I really just want a simple way for this to work. Like "enable-distributiongroup" on a yammer-group. But that's not possible from what I understand?
However it is important to point out the follow limitations. 1.) Even if you connect Yammer Groups to Office 365 groups you still have to use the
yammer.com when emailing Yammer groups. That is the way its designed. 2.) You cannot create Teams in Microsoft Teams based on Yammer connected Office 365 Groups as discussed here: -Teams/Is-it-the-case-that-a-Group-started-in-Yammer.... These are big limitations.
I think this has to do with the fact that it's a 365 enabled yammer group. Just sucks that I'll have to make a SECOND group for each team to be able to use email. And since the "groupname
intranet.domain.com" is taken it's going to be "groupname1 ...", which will also show up in the address book. Try convincing my users that this is a nice system... Gaaah.
