I'm guessing the asterisks are showing more than standard features?
that is the only place they are on there. -

Self hosted is obviously a downside to email for a SMB.
We are not in the business of hosting email. I am not adding that liability to our company.
If the client wants self hosted, it exists on their premises or colo or wtf-ever, and we make sure backups etc.

If they are using Outlook, how are they licensed? Will they continue to use the full Outlook client if you go with Office 365 or Exchange? If that is the case, you probably need to factor the tier that includes the office software for Business, etc.

You likely need to reread what I typed. Because nothing you say here matters to what I said.

We had slightly fewer mailboxes. I did a 6-year projection for just the software licensing costs of Exchange 2016 vs Office 365 Business Premium and since we already used proplus, the self-hosted Exchange was far more costly. Obviously, if you aren't already using an Office365 plan in some regards, the comparison is going to be closer.

@JaredBusch You said that they are currently using Outlook. Will they continue to use Outlook if you stick with Exchange or go to Office 365?

Outlook works with every single option listed above. It has nothing to do with the choice of email server.

You mixed licensing the desktop clients with the server licensing. those are separate and distinct needs.

Keep MailCow in the list for self hosted along with Zimbra, too.

Agreed. However, when discussing Office 365, they are usually intertwined.

OK. Please explain how they don't offer licensing packages/tiers with both, Exchange online and the client software.

i very clearly specified Exchange Online Plan 1. Nothing else.
Office365 has many licenses that include many things. I never denied that.
But I stated, you never mix desktop application decisions with email server decisions.Do they potentially work together? sometimes. But when I also specified Outlook, not Office, that matters.
