Email Hosting

My company’s management is exploring the possible of having our email hosted by a third party instead of being done in house. We are currently on Exchange 5.5 and holding on migrating to Exchange 2007 because of this. Here's my question. My company has about 85 users some of which have access to other people calendars and mailboxes. Can this still be done if email is hosted outside our company? What are the pros and con's of not having an Exchange server in house?

Yes, if you go with an Exchange hosted solution you will be able to most of those thigns you already do.  You can set permissions so users can access other users calendars, mailboxes, etc.  You can do delegates and more.  I personally like to have my mail in house just for control purposes.  However, I have seen some who have had great success with 3rd party hosted Exchange.  Really depends if you want to be able to resolve issues in house, make changes etc, or call a 3rd party.  No granted most simple things you can manage through the web interface that they provide, like adding users, groups etc.
