You might need to look at integration with your current setup and if you need to integrate the email sign-on with the domain account. You can co-exist current email services with O365 (with a few issues). You can now get public folders but there are a few slight differences. If you have an existing (or ISP hosted) domain then you can use that for outgoing device mail rather than using a mailbox. To get all the full features you need to start planning on using Office 2013 - so that means windows 7/8 on the desktop - but you can move to that over time.
Not sure about encryption as we have not yet looked at that feature.

We use blat to bounce emails off our internal server, we would want to be able to do something like that going forward. We have no sharepoint currently so Office apps are good on the cloud as long as the data files are able to be saved to the Network drives in house. We would want some public folder type access. We use SQL mail to send some not customer related emails and would want to be able to continue that going forward. Printers, switches, and Firewalls sent smtp traffic through the internal email server. We would like to continue doing that in the future. 427 computers, 250 employees with mailboxes.... Active Directory 2008. Hope that answers your questions?? Would want the ability to encrypt email on demand and per policy. ????

How many seats are you looking at and are there any specific reasons you might need on-premise or integration with other on-premise apps?

I am thinking about moving my Exchange off to them and getting the Office Pro Plus package? Just wondering about security and other questions but didn't know how to find an unbiased article on Google so far everything I have found is 2 years old and bashing Microsoft for every offering such a thing as cloud based email or apps???
