Office 365 Group Email List, not sending/receiving through Thunderbird

Hello all!

I have a client using Office 365/Outlook for their emails. They have a set of groups, example, group1@email.com, that contains a list of emails that receive an email sent to group1@email.com.

This works in Outlook (app and web) but they're want to Thunderbird. I set up through Thunderbird can send and receive normal emails but when I send to group1@email.com, no one receives an email.

I'm not sure if the group email is a feature of Outlook, but it doesn't seem to work through Thunderbird.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you!

You may need to set up Thunderbird to use the Gmail contact list.

Meaning I'll have to export the Groups and Import into Thunderbird?

No, you need to set up Thunderbird to use the gmail contact list, not copy it. For many examples of procedure, to avoid retyping it all here, I suggest doing a web search for the following:

 thunderbird use gmail contacts   

and you should see the steps explained.

Ah I'm using Outlook though. I assume I search something similar. Thanks!
