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?"

    Am I the only one that read "migrate to the cloud" as "I don't want to maintain a server anymore"...?

    Sure, but we are on SN here - we are supposed to have antibodies against ideas like giving away a core privacy and communication service like email in the hands of a "cloud provider".

    Until Dark Mail Alliance [linuxbsdos.com] is ready with their services, no other option sir.

      What you're supposed to be is knowledgable enough on the topic at hand to pick the right tool for the job. Blanket hating of 'the cloud' is not serving anyone.
