Flag group emails as "Read by" to know what group members have seen them
Being able to see what members of an email group viewed which emails would be a useful group setting. In multiple of my email groups, we rely on constant emails that confirm one or multiple members have seen/dealt with the email and its subject.
As an example, I am in an IT group in my work with multiple other technicians. When someone emails the group with a problem, we rely on multiple emails about who will handle it and when it gets finished. It would be a much simple process for the first person to see it to just flag…

Right now, I can upload a list of contacts from and Excel CSV file and store them in my Contacts on Outlook. However, in order to add them to a Group List, I have to enter them one by one, I cannot copy-paste or import them from Excel in any way.

Automatic Template when e-mailing a Group
Would be awesome if when someone e-mails a specific group, an automatic template gets populated into the New E-mail they want to compose. For example: we use e-mails for requests and it would be nice if a template was in place for our clients to uses so they don't have to remember what needs to go where.

Enable an option to categorize emails based on colors in a group. This will make the group inbox get managed effectively.
Enable an option to categorize emails based on colors in a group. This will make the group inbox be managed effectively. If there are multiple people in group who are accessing the Inbox Group, It is difficult to assign jobs and also coordinate who has picked up that email and is working on it.

Drag and Drop or mass selection Outlook groups membership management
Adding members to groups has to happen one person at a time? Contact group management allows you to open various address lists and select multiple items then click "Members" and it adds all selected items at once, the groups feature forces you to type and search for members one at a time and add them as you find them. <- this method absolutely kills productivity please add functionality similar to that of group contacts before I go insane(er)

Add option to always BCC group members
Groups are often used for contact lists where it is important to maintain privacy. It would be good to have an option for each group to always BCC members, even if the group is in the To field. The current scenario requires users to remember to put the group in the BCC field every time. An "always bcc" option would prevent mistakes.

Provide a feature to copy an email item to Group Conversation folder via API
Provide a feature to copy an email item to Group Conversation folder in Microsoft Outlook 2016 to get rid of the extra Distribution List folder that may be required otherwise via API. It is possible to copy mail items in own folder but there is no way to copy it to Group Conversation folder. The goal is to conserve the original headers of the mail item. When a forward is done, the header is distroyed.

Preview options for dynamic distribution lists
Add a preview option in Outlook to view members of a dynamic distribution list, its selection criteria and estimated number of recipients. Dynamic Distribution Lists are a wonderful tool, but when the users have to contact their Exchange admins to find out who would be a recipient, they lose value as people become afraid of using them not knowing you will receive the message.

Improve Visibility of Group Inbox
Many times now people in Groups have not seen my emails because they do not monitor the "Groups" inbox, and so they never see my email that I send to Groups / Teams groups.
Recommend some way of improving visibility to this Inbox. Either duplicate the message in a user's Inbox by default. Or maybe provide a ribbon notification when a new Group message has been received.
Regardless, there needs to be a better way to notify users of messages here as I believe most people just collapse the Groups section and never look at it.

Show Teams Channels in Outlook Groups in Outlook 2016
Presently, the Groups folders only shows conversations in the "General" Teams channel. Please provide functionality to display other channels and their conversations. Also provide the ability to drag/drop move/copy selected messages (single or multiple) from any folder in any store in Outlook to/from a Channel with appropriate confirmation prompts such as, "You are about to move X item(s) to/from 'Group Name/Channel Name'. Is this correct?".

Use the graph to improve navigation of work done in a group of Outlook 2016
When a group is selected, a navigation pane is shown that always shows: "Conversations, Files, Calendar, Notebook" (image : https://snag.gy/DFPkzU.jpg ) but this doesn't represent what is actually happening in the group. Sometimes groups use Teams, sometimes SharePoint, sometimes Yammer, sometimes a calendar, sometimes Planner. Microsoft Graph API is able to provide at least some insight into what components of the group is initialized, and how much work has been put into each part of a group. This should be used to power navigation of groups, so I can see where the work is happening.

Groups Contacts feature that links with SharePoint Contacts list
We have personal contacts associated with our Outlook profile, but we need a Groups Contacts feature that is tied/linked with a SharePoint Contacts list (like Groups Files are a SharePoint Document library). We also need the ability to drag/drop move/copy selected contacts (single/multiple) between our Outlook profile and the Groups Contact list with appropriate confirmation prompts such as, "You are about to move/copy X contact(s) to group 'Group Name'. Is this correct?".
