COMMENTARY: Using Exchange Online & Office 365

This just blows me away.  I have 20.2GB of free mailbox storage remaining… and forget “web-based email”: I still have have all the client/server speed, richness, & offline capabilities of Outlook 2013 & Exchange Server 2013.  (Yeah sure, I have OWA HTML mail which is excellent… but when I really wanna do some real work, I use a mail client & I bet you do too)

Only a few capacity-related technologies have sent me reeling like this.

  • I remember when they started shipping the 256kb memory chips back in the mid-80’s and it just boggled my mind after dealing with 16kb-64kb for years.
  • Then I bought a 14.4kbps modem and I did a happy dance every day for weeks after years of BBSing with 110bps-2400bps. 
  • When they installed DSL at my home after years of dual channel ISDN, I just shook my head & proceeded to spend the next 24 hours downloading the Internet.
  • I received a 64GB SD Flash card & that made my jaw drop.  I still own 256MB SD cards for gosh sake.

So 25GB of corporate Exchange email?  Will full server-side rules, offline sync, all my plugins, Exchange Activesync… this is THAT level of “OMG”.

So how big’s your corporate mailbox? Smile
