I am looking for an #alternative to MS 365 email. Partner support is required. The data can be in the cloud, but it must be compatible with the desktop client. In addition, the client must be Linux. Which provider can I consider with over 1200 users? Next is to replace Teams and Office and switch to a Linux desktop
The whole thing is planned as a test first. A small introduction should be possible with the solution
Which provider should I contact?

"Restoring" my Plasma config takes me 2-3 hours. Restoring my Cinnamon config takes 2-3 minutes.
