Migrating Local Email into the Cloud?

"I have an on-premises Microsoft Exchange system that hosts my families personal email, which has gone through several upgrades over the years. However Exchange 2013 is now too bloated for my needs, and I find myself wanting to migrate my email services to a cloud provider.

The kicker is that although I only have about 5 live accounts, I have over 200 email aliases attached to those accounts. Most of the cloud providers out there do not support this configuration, or charge per 'address' which makes the cost prohibitive for personal email.

Do any SoylentNewsers know of, or can advise the best way to migrate this lot out of my garage without losing all my aliases or having to pay through the nose?"

    Exactly. Just ask "why to the cloud and not to a VPS?" to spot that they have no idea about what they are talking about. Do they need advanced cloud services like load balancers, elastic nodes, snapshots etc? No! Most times they have no frickin' idea what is that about...good job on the buzzword marketing, worst job on reading and learning what is the technology.

    This reminds me of that time when I told the "expert" that NoSQL databases usually are not ACID compliant...that face, that stupor, and too bad my two-handed claymore [wikipedia.org] was at home!

    too bad my two-handed claymore was at home!

    There's a one-handed claymore?
