To convert a Security Group to a Mail-Enabled Security Group in Office 365, you can follow these steps:

Prerequisites:

2. You have a Security Group in your Office 365 tenant.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Open the Office 365 Admin Center: Go to the Office 365 Admin Center (https://admin.microsoft.com) and sign in with your admin credentials.
2. Navigate to Groups: In the navigation menu, click on Groups.
3. Find the Security Group: In the Groups page, search for the Security Group you want to convert to a Mail-Enabled Security Group.
4. Edit the Group: Click on the three dots next to the Security Group and select Edit.
5. Enable Mail: In the Group settings page, scroll down to the Mail section and toggle the switch next to Enable mail to On.
6. Save Changes: Click Save to save the changes.

Verification:

1. Check the Group Settings: Go back to the Group settings page and verify that the Enable mail switch is now set to On.
2. Check the Group Properties: Go to the Group properties page (by clicking on the three dots next to the Group name and selecting Properties) and verify that the Mail-enabled property is set to True.

Additional Tips:

• Make sure the Security Group has a valid email address associated with it. If not, you can add one by clicking on the Edit button next to the Email address field.
• If you have existing members in the Security Group, they will not automatically receive an invitation to join the Mail-Enabled Security Group. You will need to manually invite them or use the Add members feature to add them to the new Mail-Enabled Security Group.
• If you have any custom settings or configurations applied to the Security Group, they may not be preserved after converting it to a Mail-Enabled Security Group. Be sure to review and update any custom settings as needed.
