office 365 - currently a mix of pop & organise+share

[Jurasik]

Hi all.

My company currently has approx 22 email accounts with BT Business. 3 of them are on organise & share. The rest are on POP3. We also have our own domain name. We have not yet had the notification that we are going to be upgraded to office 365. I have had discussions with BT support & it is the fact that we have this mix of accounts + domain name is the reason we have not yet been upgraded.

I have the following questions for BT:

1. I understand that Office 365 is a pay per user per month service. Will we still have the option of pop for the majority of our emails?

2. If we cannot have pop anymore, will we have to pay the monthly charge for each email on the office 365 platform, on top of the standard charges?

I  have found this page: http://btbusiness.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/18773/related/1

but costs are not mentioned.

Can anybody shed some light on this?

Sorrry it's taken a while to get back to you.

So after all the to-ing & fro-ing, are you saying that nothing will change, except for the inbox size on the POP accounts?

up from 200mb to 25gb?

Hi,

Lord this is confusing.

Right here we go.  The size changes are as follows:

Standard (lite) account = 50 MB to 250 MB variable goes to 500 MB fixed.

Full Office 365 account = 200 MB to 1GB variable goes up to 25 GB fixed.
