      The only miniscule gripe with O365 MIGHT be that they don't have a bare bones plan with JUST e-mail.

      But really, for $4 ... if it is for business, that should be able to be justified.

      What do you mean JUST email? The $4 plan is just email.

        Exchange Online Plan 1 is the just E-mail offering. As Scott said it's $4 / user / month.

          If you go to $5 you get loads of features beyond email.

            I tried G Suite, but didn't like the way it was necessary to continuously switch accounts within Chrome. Any advice would be hugely appreciated.

            Why are you constantly switching accounts? If you mean a person account vs your business account, then as someone mentioned - it sounds like Chrome can open two different mailboxes over two different tabs.
            If you're a FireFox user, the add-on Multi Account Containers will allow this same functionality (someone else on ML recently posted about this add-on, it's pretty cool!).

              Google has always been designed to work wi5hout needing any stupid account containers.

                This only works for certain functions. As someone who needs to do this, I can tell you, it works but it is more cumbersome than you'd hope and very slow.

                  Oh, sorry, I mean like a "reduced" e-mail like some places used to offer for $1 or $2. For devices and things that can't use aliases but don't need a 50GB mailbox and full Exchange features.

                  BTW: you consider full Exchange (aka, contacts, calendaring, ActiveSync) JUST e-mail?

                    If I recall right, they have an Exchange Online Kiosk plan that's stripped down. I don't recall the details about it though--been a while since I looked at it.

                        From the administration side, that is different.

                            If you tie your Google account to other services instead of using a unique log in, then that is your own problem for being a bad user.

                              That's good to know - but I F'n hate chrome - so it's not something I've ever tried.

                                I only have an issue with using Google as an authenticator because -- well I don't really know why any more..

                                So what's your issue with using Google as an authenticator?

                                    I tried G Suite, but didn't like the way it was necessary to continuously switch accounts within Chrome. Any advice would be hugely appreciated.

                                    Why are you constantly switching accounts? If you mean a person account vs your business account, then as someone mentioned - it sounds like Chrome can open two different mailboxes over two different tabs.
                                    If you're a FireFox user, the add-on Multi Account Containers will allow this same functionality (someone else on ML recently posted about this add-on, it's pretty cool!).

                                    Google has always been designed to work wi5hout needing any stupid account containers.

                                    That's good to know - but I F'n hate chrome - so it's not something I've ever tried.
                                    oh - and before I get - why hate chrome - for the same reason I hate apple.

                                    WTF in the fuck (double F there yes....) does using Gmail have to do with chrome.

                                    You said that Chrome allows that double logon without containers shit.. that's a chrome feature... not sure if it's a feature that's unique to gmail or not.

                                        Awww - You weren't saying that Chrome is what allowed this... you were saying that Google themselves allow this, regardless of browser... is that it?
