Thanks so much, all other videos just showed how to send email. How to enable is missing.

You're very welcome and thanks for watching!

is there any way to add a link to a SharePoint file in the email that the teams channel will recognise?

[@LuiIacobellis]

If you add a link in the email it should flow through as a clickable link.

How do you get notified when a new email arrives in teams. It ist not showing up even with notification on. Seems that the post comes in unread. Do you have a tip? Thank you

[@LuiIacobellis]

There are many notification related settings in Teams that might be causing this. Here's a thread with some more info on this issue answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/emails-forwarded-to-teams-not-initiating/c004342e-3480-437b-a6a8-63e83c01652d

Can u set a Team Channel as An alias in A distribution list?

[@LuiIacobellis]

Hi there, I do not believe it's possible to set the Teams Channel as an alias. I believe the Alias value is just text in Active Directory. You could use the name of the channel as the alias but it wouldn't be connected in anyway. Hope this helps and thanks for watching
