I have been using azure professionally for years and I created my own personal azure account but I'm having issues with the following two things:
- o365 group - I setup a Microsoft 365 group and added a few users, and then tried using the email that is called out in the group list, but I received a bounce back because the domain was my sign up email (less the @ symbol)+ onmicrosoft.com which doesn't exist.
- I added my domain to my AAD and now its showing as the primary domain, however when I add another group, it still lists the email as the same onmicrosoft.com even though I've entered the domain.
My question is two parts... the most important is getting the mail working, the 2nd would getting the mail to have a more appropriate domain name.

I understand that you are unable to use the email address associated with the Microsoft 365 group, as it is bouncing back due to the domain being the sign-up email address without the '@' symbol + onmicrosoft.com, which does not exist.
Even after adding the custom domain to Azure Active Directory (AAD) and setting it as the primary domain, the email address associated with new groups still defaults to the onmicrosoft.com domain. This is unexpected, as it should default to the custom domain.
I have replicated this issue in my environment and observed the same behavior.
When creating Microsoft 365 groups, the email address initially shows the default domain (onmicrosoft.com), even if we set the primary domain as the custom domain (testdomain.com). However, after creating the Microsoft 365 group, the email address is created based on the primary domain.
We have noticed this behavior only in the Microsoft Entra admin center and not in the Microsoft 365 admin center. In the Microsoft 365 admin center, the email option reflects the primary domain.
I will check with my team and get back to you.
Thanks,
Navya.
