Individual users have their own mailboxes. Some plans also include an online archive for additional storage.
Mailboxes and online archives
Each user has a calendar to keep track of upcoming events and to check for conflicts when scheduling meetings with coworkers. If needed, users can delegate access to their calendars to other users, like administrative assistants and teammates.
Calendars
Users can view and edit Office attachments online in Outlook on the web - even without a locally installed version of Office.

Message policy and compliance
All Exchange Online subscriptions include Exchange Online Protection, which provides configurable antispam and anti-malware scanning.
Antispam and anti-malware
To support specialized mail flow (hybrid, partner, or third-party service scenarios), you can create inbound and outbound connectors in Microsoft 365. For example, you can create connectors that use additional security settings for mail flow with a business partner.
Configurable mail flow
Users can use Outlook mailboxes and calendars on Windows and Mac clients by using Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) over HTTPS or Microsoft Graph. Exchange Web Services is still supported, but if you’re updating or creating an app, use Microsoft Graph instead. Outlook on the web supports mailboxes and calendars on almost any platform. Mobile devices can access mailboxes and calendars by using Exchange ActiveSync.
Mobile and multiplatform access
You can integrate Exchange Online with an on-premises Exchange Server organization by implementing a hybrid deployment. In a hybrid deployment, Exchange Online and the on-premises Exchange organization can share a single namespace for messaging. A hybrid deployment also supports calendar sharing and mailbox moves between Exchange Online and an on-premises Exchange server.
Hybrid deployment
Many on-premises deployments of Exchange place relatively low limits on mailbox sizes, such as one or two gigabytes (GB). Bigger mailboxes require more hardware (servers and drives).
Exchange Server
You need to purchase and configure hardware to store multiple mailbox copies and configure load balancing to achieve high availability. For true high availability, you also need an alternate datacenter.
Exchange Server
You need to manage your own backups, but you have complete control over them.
Exchange Server
Some new features from the cloud might eventually be added to Exchange Server, but they’ll always appear first in Exchange Online.
Exchange Server
You have access to the Exchange servers and mailbox databases.
Exchange Server
Supports larger mailboxes of 50 GB or more, depending on your plan.
