Of course the other thing to make note of is that since Groups make use of distribution lists, if within the Outlook for Mac client you click on “Reply” you’ll notice that you’re sending a note directly back to the original poster rather than a note to the entire group, thereby segmenting your conversation. The caveat is that within the Outlook for Mac 2016 UI, you don’t have the ability to “easily” create a new thread in that discussion unless you go and create a new message and then lookup the discussion list name whereas in the Web UI you merely click on “New”. The interactions with the UI are pretty decent. If you’re used to the web view then you’re probably familiar with something that looks a little more like this: Recently announced, hot off the press, Office 365 Groups are coming to Outlook 2016 for Mac!
