Hi,
I'm a bit confused with the 365 plans and their features. So I hope that by describing my needs someone can give me a good answer on what plan fits me.
I own a (recently started) small software company, and I need to provide my customers with email-support. I want to use my offline/desktop version of Outlook for this.
I have multiple websites and domainnames, and I want users to be able to send emails to me using my custom domainnames, and receive them in Outlook. From what I read I don't need an actual email-server to receive/send my support emails (coming from my info@mycompany.com addresses etc) if I use Office 365.
The main features I need from Office are just email and agenda, since I still have the other office software on my personal computer.
My main concern is that I need to use a 3rd party pop3/smtp server for my emailing, but as I said, I guess this is not needed when using 365 as Office 365 will function as my email server?
Will the (cheapest) Business Essentials-plan be good enough for this? Or am I missing some important features compared to the upgrades.
Also, I'm planning on signing up for BizSpark once my websites are all online, will Office be included in the bizspark package?
Thank you!
