Office 365 recieving mail via POP connector

In a standard exchange setup you can have a pop connector downloading emails from an ISP mail server into your exchange mailboxes.
Can this easily be done with Office 365?
Reason behind this is we have a lot of email accounts on downloading from an ISP and some users would like to use Exchange. So instead of moving all mailboxes onto exchange I would like to use Office 365 exchange for those few users to download the email via POP and then still be able to send out using the same domain.

Is this possible and if so how would I go about it?

@spravtek .. Thanks but I'm looking for the other way around. I want Office 365 Exchange to download the emails from the POP server into the exchange mailbox.

Ah, I see... My bad ... So you want to connect a pop3 mailbox to your existing Office365 mailbox so your users can send email from this pop3 mailbox or ??

I don't have 365 mailboxes yet. I first want to find out is this option is possible.
I want to connect the POP mailbox to exchange to pull in the email from the POP mailbox. The uses will send email via exchange but still used the same email address.

Hmmm, I know it's possible to connect a third-party mailbox to an office365 one and send email in name of that third-party mailbox but there's no "global" pop3 connector ...

I found this link that should work, but not sure if you have to manually download or if it will keep checking and downloading automatically?

Yes, that's what I mean with connecting a "third-party" or other mailbox to your account, but as far as I know you'll need to configure this for each user individually ...
