o365 f1 plan pop3 email client
Using POP3 and Windows Live Mail is a really bad idea when you move to the cloud.
I might just tolerate the suggestion for an on-premises deployment when everyone is behind a corporate firewall, but when you move to Office 365 those F1 users are going to be on the internet and you're asking them to use an antique mail protocol from the 1980s and an antique mail client that's designed for consumer use. This is a recipe for hacker attacks.
As you're paying for OWA, you should use OWA and take advantage of the more modern protocols and the anti-malware capabilities built into the client. OWA supports offline use too. You can configure mailbox retention policies and low mailbox quotas to keep user mailboxes under control.
Seriously, it's time to move into the 21st century.
hi,
Thanks for your quick response. Yes we need to consider about OWA and one more clarity required on office 365 f1 is delegate access, What dose means ? screenshot for your reference.
Delegate access means that someone can't grant access to their mailbox (or a specific folder, like the calendar) to someone else. But as your F1 users use POP3 today, which hasn't a bull's notion of what delegate access means, they won't miss this feature.
I do agree with TonyRedmond
