Hi
Well. I have read a bit on here. But here is my predicament. I have a few questions which I have put in bold.
I am a volunteer for a credit union (and we dont have money for new expensive PCs and S/W). I look after the IT as I am (was ?) IT literate - certainly no one else is. Two years ago somene decided to use BT for the internet and email.
I have in the past added space for our email addresses that all end @btinternet.com so no domain name. Today I tried adding more space and it seems the way I did it before is not there. Unfortunately, like a certain office product we have to be an expert in something that we used to be able to do in our sleep. I mean its changed ! ( has it ?).
In the end I gave up ignoring the "upgrade to 365" links incase this was my hurdle (is it, do I need to bother ?). It wanted me to re-grade (iirc) first. So I gave in and went there. Option to not bother on all email addresses except our bloated email address which was not in the list. So I went for ignore (coward) on all of them. Next thing it asks me to register a domain name - well we have a website already so why not use that I thinks.
Question is does that mean we will have to change our email addresses in our publicity etc etc or is there a way of setting up aliases ?.
Will I be able to add space to the email addresses if I play around with Office365 - one of them is already at 950MB.
I have not dared go too far iinto the 365 upgrade stuff incase I commit us to something I could have avoided. Probably being overcautious I know but I would appreciate some pointers as I cannot afford to get it wrong for them.
My real goal is to get an old windows2003 server going and use that as a proper server. We can then move forwards from a workkgroup to a domain. But that seems to be receeding into the mist. Its a pity we changed our email addresses only two years ago and this is where we end up.
This has turned into a rather large distraction. Being a volunteer I could just walk away but thats not my motivation in life.
I am sure these are fairly simple questions. Any answers would be appreciated.
Peter
