Currently we have an Exchange 2007 server on-premise and we are planning to move to Office 365 plan E1/E3 with all users EXCEPT for the mail part (for various reasons).
So we will upgrade from Exchange 2007 -> 2010 -> 2016 and then connect the new server to Office 365 as a hybrid.
I would like that my E1 users gets the full experience of Office.com via browser and I have this question:
Is it possible to make a setup where my users can log on to office.com and use the Outlook icon that they will see? I mean.. can you change the setup so the Outlook icon points to the on-premise server instead?

That is not possible. The Outlook Icon will only be available if you have Mailbox on Office 365.

Ok thanks.
I was affraid that you would say that :)
My hope was that that my on-premise server and the Office 365 Exchange would act like two exchange servers in same organisation (more or less).
But thanks anyway

When you have hybrid is like you have 2 separate Exchange Organizations federated with each other.
But you can customize Office 365 to have a Icon pointing to your Exchange On-Premises, but many features are only available when you move the mailbox to Exchange Online.

Hi Christopher and thanks for your reply.
And you are right of course.
I am leaning towards moving my E1 users to 365 and perhaps also the E3 users but it requires some thought :)
But anyway thanks

The way to log in to OWA (M365 Mailbox) is via outlook.office365.com.
May I know how to log in to my on-premises mailbox?
I have a mailbox on Exchange 2016.
Also please share your channel's subscription link I want to follow for further learning.
