IMAP Question
I manage staff access for a Church. We have IMAP email hosted with our website hosting provider. Not everyone who has email through us needs Microsoft 365. Is there a way to have a hybrid solution wh...
oliwer_sundgren Thanks for your reply. That's what I thought as well. My main reason is that casual email users don't need Microsoft Office and I don't really want to pay twice since we are already paying the web hosting company and email is included. Lastly is there a way to create email alias' as well. Example, we have an email address for mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons that is an alias that automatically sends to multiple people. Is there a way to do that in Microsoft 365?
Hello again! No worries at all 🙂
I understand, paying twice is always sad. There are ways to achieve having mailboxes in Microsoft 365 and another system for the same domain, however it is a bit tricky to set up if the other system is not Exchange Server 😉 So what you want to do is possible, but will require time and help from outside of this forum since there is a lot to get into.
Regarding your other question, If I understand you correctly you want to have an email address, and when you send emails to this address it should get sent to multiple users, is that correct?
In that case, what you want to set up is a "Distribution list" in Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online)
That is a group with an email address attached to it, and when you send an email to it all the members in the group will get the email.
Let me know if that answers your question or if I can assist further 🙂
cheers!
