Thank's for answer.
Maybe I have not explained myself well enough.

Scenario:
Before: SBS 2008 download email with POP3 connector and handle the messages.

Now: Mail is moved to Office365 on hosting center.
SBS 2008 must forward internal and external mail to hosting center.
SBS2008 will no longer handle the messages.

Wait, so you want SBS to download messages via the pop3 connector then forward the messages to Office365?!?

No!

Before Office365 SBS2008 was downloading and handles mail.

Now Office365 has to handle all the mail. Office365 is hosted external.

So my answer remains as it was the first time. Somewhere you have a DNS host that has MX records pointing to a hosting provider. Mail gets delivered there and then the pop3 connector picks it up.

You have to find that DNS host and update those records to point to the office 365 servers.

And each DNS host is different. There is no single answer here.
