Sounds like Exchange Online Plan 1 is what they need.<br />
<br />
If you are asking about migration then not knowing anything about there existing environment I can't adequately answer. If they have on premise Exchange then for 20 users a cutover migration is normally the best way to go.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
And if they are using on premise Active Directory then I would look at setting up DirSync with PasswordSync.<br />

All I would like to know is if I can set up &nbsp;new email system (migration of data is not necessary) so that it looks like Microsoft Exchange option when configuring Outlook (e.g. &quot;.ost&quot; file) &nbsp;and not having a dirsync server. This way, any change within Outlook is automatically reflected in the cloud (e.g creating a sub folder within the inbox).<br />
<br />
The desire is to keep all email data in the cloud with a local copy.

Thank you for your assistance.<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
A customer of mine wants to purchase an online email system. It would appear that Exchange online plan P1 might satisfy their needs.<br />
<br />
They are a company of 20 users and want to use outlook 2010 as the email client. They want all email data to remain in the cloud with a copy on their local computer. They also want to be able to make subfolders within outlook and have changes replicated to the cloud.<br />
<br />
Single Sign on is not a requirement.<br />
<br />
What would be the recommended way to proceed? This is a fairly simple environment.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.<br />
