Migrate from Office365 to Outlook.com
Hi, For those of us who use Office365 as Exchange accounts for personal use, you may like to know that outlook.com is now powered by Exchange Online and has the same features as Office365. You need to subscribe to Outlook Premium and pay a domain adding fee yearly to get this, but that gives you 5 email addresses. For those of us with 5 Office365 subscriptions that is quite a saving. I haven't done the migration as I pay annually for my subscription, and still may continue with it at the moment. From what I have read there is downtime as you need to delete your domain from the Office365 control panel and then add it into Outlook to make sure everything migrates across, there is apparently a nasty situation if you cancel the account without doing this where your domain is in limbo for 90 days in the database. That gives you an outlook.com and a domain email, you can then invite 4 more outlook.com members to sign up for your domain, giving you 5 addresses in total. If I don't do anything else I will be migrating to the Office365 personal next year instead of paying for the Office software as part of the subscription as it works out cheaper and gives you 1GB of OneDrive space per account which is actually quite useful as other apps use OneDrive personal and can't access OneDrive Business. Just thought it would be interesting for people. Let me know if you do it, Andrew.
Hi Andrew,\ Can you add more than 5 accounts to the domain for a fee? I could see me using more than 5?

Hi: I looked at doing this myself a while ago for my personal domain, but in the end decided not to go there for now. Outlook.com is using Exchange on the back end, but you don't admin it like an Exchange account, AKA it didn't look like you had access to the EAC or Powershell CMDlets like you do with Exchange Online. I also couldn't figure out how to do some things like set up email aliases for users so multiple email addresses went to one account, set up group distribution lists, etc. So if you're looking for just basic email accounts and nothing more this may be OK, but if you want more advanced functionality, for now at least, you may want to stick to O365 with Exchange Online. I've always had the O365 business essencials package which doesn't have any Office downloads (accept for the Skype for Business client) and then used other options to get copies of Office.

Hi, Yeah, no access to Exchange tools at all, just single mailboxes. You can create aliases for the mailbox, but I don't think you can create distribution lists. For us it is fine at the moment, but I am still cautious of it - mainly because I want to get specific outlook.com addresses which aren't available! We will be going to the Business Essentials package next June. Andrew. ________________________________________ From: Blind-sysadmins [blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] on behalf of Ryan Shugart via Blind-sysadmins [blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] Sent: 03 October 2017 00:26 To: Blind sysadmins list Cc: Ryan Shugart Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Migrate from Office365 to Outlook.com Hi: I looked at doing this myself a while ago for my personal domain, but in the end decided not to go there for now.
