It sure is. We need more of these

Did you try deleting the user's Outlook profile reboot and re setup?
No, haven't done that yet...if that seems like a pretty good fix, I'll schedule for his lunch hour...

Big Success story for ML
Yes, it sure was...I've purposely did not deleted their old PST to give it several months and even then, I may archive them. They may not even realize they are missing emails until months later.
Had someone today who said they are missing some folders...will reimport his old PST tonight, and ignoring duplicates and see if that fixes it.
18 of us have the Microsoft Office 365 Plan E1 and haven't really taken advantage of it's features yet. I've used Lync twice with our computer challenged sales people in the field and the desktop sharing/control has been excellent. But no one else has really used Lync yet.

Any "season later" follow up on this project?

Exchange Online has been excellent...and stable...still haven't done anything with SharePoint ONline but emails has been rockin'...

SharePoint Online is awesome. Definitely make some time to play with that, even if only as a wiki.

Well, considering my direct manager said to get all the OTJ training I can get with our Excel/VBA projects, I will make time for SharePoint Online here soon...

Are there any differences between Online and on premise?
Is it easy to transfer your on premise sites to online when you decide to move to O365? I've read a lot about Exchange migration, but nothing about Sharepoint migration. -

The main thing is understanding Exchange Online Licensing vs Exchange Licensing.
Here are the differences

I was asking about Sharepoint @IRJ, not Exchange.
How easy is it to migrate on premise Sharepoint sites to O365?
-
Sharepoint is, in my experience, a lot more complex. Exchange handles email, it is more straightforward. Sharepoint handles so many things. It is not nearly as clear cut.

@PSX_Defector is the man to ask this question to. Just realized that this one was still hanging out in the ether.

@Carnival-Boy still looking to move Sharepoint? Any progress.

We now use Sharepoint extensively with our ERP system (MS Dynamics NAV), but are still only running Foundation. Still hoping to move to O365 at some point soon (and still hoping the migration will be straightforward). Why can't you just restore a backup of the Sharepoint database to O365?

Traditionally, and I believe that this is still the case, because there is no access to the database backend and no ingest interface through which to upload a backup.

I can see the advantages of Exchange Online versus On-Premise, but Sharepoint? I still need convincing.

Big one is not needing to run Sharepoint, SQL Server and manage it yourself and deal with backups and storage. Also nice that the hosted version is Enterprise so you get online MS Office functionality and such. Both have benefits, it's not nearly as cut and dry as with email where hosted has so much of a lead right out of the gate, local Sharepoint still benefits from features like "free" potentially and "gobs of storage" which doesn't apply to the hosted versions. But it's also not totally trivial to manage and having that all handled has a bit of value.

I'd forgotten that Microsoft has killed Foundation (2013 will be the last version), so there is no longer a free version of Sharepoint. If you need it, you have to pay for it. I'd forgotten this even though I actually posted it on ML a year ago (I think my memory is going in my old age).
Add that to the fact that it appears that migrating from on-premise to online is not a simple task (compared with say Exchange), and I'm coming round to thinking it would be foolish to further invest in Sharepoint Foundation 2013 and we're better off moving to Sharepoint online asap. It will mean extra cost in the short-term, because we'll have to buy a load of O365 subscriptions, but less cost in the long-term (as eventually we will have to migrate from on-premise to online since Foundation is the only product that makes financial sense on-premise and Foundation has been killed).
