Unfortunately, the Office 365 Business Essentials<https://products.office.com/en-us/business/compare-office-365-for-business-plans> plan -- which I assume is the $5 plan that Richard is referring to -- does not include a license for the desktop Outlook client; only the Office 365 Business Premium or Enterprise E3 or greater plans include both Exchange Online and the Office desktop apps.
While Outlook 2007 technically may still be able to connect to Office 365 Exchange Online, I will agree with the others when they say that you really should try to get your users to Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2016 for the best performance and user experience. Officially Microsoft will only guarantee functionality for clients that are still in mainstream support, which no longer includes Office 2007. Dave -- Dave W.

My Google-fu is failing me at the moment, and I can't seem to find the minimum version of Outlook required to connect via RPC over HTTPS/Outlook Anywhere/whatever-they're-calling-it-now. Does anyone know for sure if Outlook 2007 and newer will work? Thank you. This will be my first foray into O365 land and I'm sure this won't be the last question. Cheers, RS PS Dirsync works at this level, right? Even the password hash option that requires people to sign in to Outlook manually?
