Folks, especially those doing a DIY migration from on-premises Exchange to Office 365, you should look at CU 8.
The automatic profile redirect we'll need to look at but it sounds like it will be a really big help.
Oh yeah, and modern Calendar and Contacts Public Folders are now accessible in OWA.
Added March 24, 2015: profile redirect is not the big help we thought unless your main worry is Smart Phones. See: Exchange ActiveSync on-boarding to Office 365

DIY O365 Migration from Exchange - First Pass
Rarely do we get such an outpouring of "gimme gimme gimme."
So since we're really good at turning out stuff quickly, we've got a first pass at our DIY Guide to Migrating from Exchange to Office 365.
We have focused on the heavy lifting of migrating email (via imapsync), and calendars, contacts, and tasks (via our tech).
Remember: It's BETA, folks. You have comments, want additions, think you have something to add, we're really happy to take feedback.
The other issues: like user provisioning, delegate access, swapping MX records, we've not gone into detail at all since those are pretty well documented on line. If you need details on how to accomplish this, let us know.
Remember, you'll need to license imapsync.
If you need the calendar, contact, and task migration, drop us a line.
We'll have a simple flat version of our calendar migration software up in a couple of days.
It's simple to run, but unlike everybody else it will tell you who was in your meetings like this:

DIY @imapsync to Migrate Email #Exchange to #Office365 -- We'll add a calendaring process
Your direct costs should never exceed 100 Euros (or $110 at the current exchange rate) for an email migration into Office 365 (From Exchange or any other IMAP server).
imapsync is more than capable of handling your Email migration. Buy the software and support.
Cards on the table here: we do not get any money from imapsync, but we've found it to be a quality product with a great guy behind it and a good support community. Add to that it's inexpensive nature and liberal software license and you really cannot go wrong.
You will need to make sure you have permissions on the Office 365 side if you wan to do multiple mailboxes without individual passwords. See our earlier posting on using imapsync to migrate email into Exchange.
You can also handle migration problems with the wealth of Exchange information in their FAQ:

You can also handle migration problems with the wealth of Exchange information in their FAQ:
Pay special attention to the case of read receipts. Going into Office 365 can re-generate read receipts. So during your testing if that turns out to be a problem:
imapsync... --disarmreadreceipts
Other very useful FAQ solutions include what to do when encountering individual attachments over the default limit set by Exchange (10 Mb) and Office 365 (25 Mb), as well as line length issues.
We're working on a DIY document to take you through your own migration. Frankly, we get lots of questions that could be handled by such a guide. And we're tired of Microsoft black boxes and over-priced third party offerings.
We'll offer a "flat" calendar migration in an imapsync-like model just so folks can get their migration done if they don't mind a simple calendar migration. Contacts and tasks are included in this of course.
The goal here is to get your software costs for a migration to Office 365 to under US$1000 with you supplying your own elbow grease.
In rough numbers email, calendars, tasks, and contacts should be about 95% of the data you need to move.

On-Prem #MSExchange to #Office365 Full-State Calendar Migration: Looking for testers!
Folks, we're looking for beta testers for our full-state Exchange to Office 365 (and vice-versa!) calendar migration.
We've got it all there: live guest lists, re-created responses, meetings being actual functional meetings when it's all done. But we always find the real world is a lot better place to test things out than our labs (however good we've gotten at anticipating problems).
Interested? Want to discuss for informed consent? Contact us.
