Hi @Vinod Survase ,

How to add Mail Enabled Security Group in Outlook client like distribution group or M365 group?

Do you mean you want to make mail-enabled security groups show up under Groups in the left nav pane of Outlook?

If this is the case, I am afraid it's currently not feasible for mail-enabled security groups. You can posting a feature request to the dedicated feedback portal for Outlook via: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/89a8afa3-2e1c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472

Hi @Yuki Sun-MSFT

That's correct I am looking to add in outlook under group and make the owners to manage that groups ownership and membership. As we have such groups for apps and there is requirement to add new member to that group so we were looking for solution so owner of that group can simply add new members whenever require and remove in case not required. This is how reduces the time and efforts of the group owners chasing with IT team to add new members and wait for their work to be done.

Create a rule to move all emails sent to the specific security mail enabled group in your desired folder and this way you wont miss the emails. It works for me.
