Office 365

[stek]

I didn't say it couldn't. But the MS route makes more sense the more MS-y you are.

Does 365 include the Outlook client or webmail only?

I got Outlook in my Home sub, including Mac Outlook 2015

Then try to place your question in the right forum. What else do you expect if you put it in General

And now we have a thread without a first post. Can you add it back?

Blimey! Why do that?

It's a Bob trick, the reply he wanted was not forthcoming.

I just got Office 365 for business. I had IMAP previously and had given a mate an IMAP mailbox. Switched over and realised I'd have to pay for his mailbox. I thought it could be a shared one but alas, no.

Here's the price for users with Office 365 Business with Exchange for 34 users - £265.20:-

Don't get as much spam as before plus everything is synched across all devices!

Is that per month? Not sure if that's good value or not... can you rent Windows as a service yet?


I've never tried Office on Mac; is it good?

If you are running business with 30 odd employees and are afraid of £265 / month for what is a business essentials, you are not doing a good job.

Running in-house exchange is cost prohibitive for anything less than 500 mailboxes, licensing and quality aside, an exchange admin salary is far greater that what Office 365 costs

I'm using Office 365 but with only 1 mailbox using my own domain, so can't comment on larger scale. Basically it's identical to any exchange/outlook mail you are used in most of the enterprises.

That's rather a bad argument really. "Oh it's not much, per month, compared with salaries". Sure, until you find you're subscribing to 10 such things. The whole reason they do monthly pricing is to make you think that way. It's the same silly "it's only a day's rate stop worrying" nonsense you here quite often.

You have your Office sub, your source control hosting sub, your issue-tracking sub, they soon mount up. Then you have Windows and (for instance) Visual Studio, maybe some nifty VS plugins, yada yada.

Not saying it's not worth it, but saying it's not even worth analysing is a bad move. Especially when the OP only mentioned it in reference to email.

That's my current clientco's email system of choice

I'd rather ...

Mine too. There can't be more than one surely so are you the fat smelly barsteward in release management?
