What am I missing here (Exchange 2010 on server 2012r2)

For sure, the largest kicker is we would NEVER switch all of our users, (we are a retail establishment with hundreds and hundreds of generic email addresses)
No way to make them aliases?

@scottalanmiller Cool. What about backups?
O365 is inclusive. It's $4, done. That's it. No other costs. Every, single thing is included.

Nope, and its lets say roughly, 20 email addresses per retail location, so currently times something like 36? and growing every year.
-
@Sparkum Right but are they all a 1:1 for a mailbox?
-
They go to positions.
So if that person gets fired/quits there's no change on our end.
Just retail so turn over is high. -
You don't get charged per email address, you get charged per mailbox.user, right?

Where do they go?

They go to kiosk01, cashier01, car01, installer01, etc
-
So for example.... scott@ scottalanmiller@ samiller@ all come to me. One mailbox. Aliases are free.

Ah, so those "people" never get an email address of their own at all? Cashier01 is always nothing but cashier01? He will change his email address when he gets a promotion?
-
-
so you are using abc@domain.com that goes to its own Exchange mailbox and def@domain.com that goes to its own, right?
-
If the cashier changed from cashier to kiosk for example they would abandon cashier01, someone else would take it, and they would start using kiosk01

Gotcha. So those people are all using super cheap accounts that aren't on Exchange then since it's non-critical email?
-
Correct, they are on a program called Smarter mail, and they use Kingsoft as an office alternative,
I think its a couple hundred bucks a year for 1000 users

Gotcha. At that price, why not use Zimbra for free?
