Logix Offers Multiple Upgrade Options for Office 365 Kiosk / F1 Plan Users

Office 365 Kiosk F1 Upgrade Alternatives

Microsoft recently disabled support for POP / IMAP for its Office 365 platform to mitigate risks of vulnerability exploitation of these emailing protocols. After this change, all Office 365 Kiosk / F1 plan users are impacted, leading them to evaluate options.

What options do Office 365 Kiosk Plan / F1 Plan Users Have?

Users of the Office 365 platform can explore below approaches:

Continue with the existing plan

Kiosk / F1 users can continue using the existing plan but restrict themselves to only web access and 2GB storage space.

Upgrade to a higher plan

Another option is for users to switch to a higher Office365 plan like Exchange Online Plan 1, Business Basic plan etc. This, however, has a cost impact so evaluate this option if you have IT budgets to accommodate a higher Office365 plan

Cloud Zimbra Hybrid Upgrade

This is the most economic and quick solution for Kiosk / F1 users. Logix offers Office 365 – Cloud Zimbra hybrid model. You can keep your power users on an upgraded Office 365 plan and shift the rest to Cloud Zimbra Suite.
