Microsoft Exchange Online (Plan 1) is a cloud-based business email and messaging service that provides organizations with professional email, calendars, contacts, and task management without requiring an on-premises Exchange Server.
Users can access their business email through Outlook, Outlook on the web, and mobile devices, while administrators can manage mailboxes, mail flow, security, mobile policies, and other Exchange features through the Exchange Admin Center.
