Just as the title already suggests, could you please tell me if "team email" is something that natives actually use, especially in business environment?
The specific context: What is meant here by "team email" is a shared group mailbox used by all our team members, ie. this is the "outside" e-mail address provided to our customers, so that no matter at what time they send the e-mail, someone who's currently on the shift, will be able to see it.
I would probably understand what you meant by “team email” from context, but the term I’d use is “shared mailbox”.
Normally, I’d expect “team email” to mean an email sent to the entire team such that each member received their own copy in their personal mailbox.
It's not idiomatic. Generally the term email covers situations where you are either emailing a single person or a group as in
email it to him
email it to everybody
Whereas saying
Or
Just sounds unnecessarily long-winded.
