This is very well documented on the O365 site and Technet.
There are a number of options Microsoft supports for doing this - I'd use one.
In your case, a Simple Exchange Migration would likely work. You could use the
Staged or full-on Hybrid options too. For an SBS sized environment that seems
overkill to me.

Subject: Office 365 Email Migration steps - is there a better way?
Since we've been on the subject of Office 365, I was wondering if anyone has a
high level set of steps they use for migrating user email from on premise to
Office 365 - on premise outllook client is XP or up. On Premise Exchange server
is 2008 SBS.
I've done a few and have some steps that require manual changes to the user's
outlook profile on their in house computers.
Basically -
1) Verify the on-premise AD account is synced and enabled through the portal
2) Connect to user's system and login to office 365 portal to verify their
local software is good
3) Setup the migration script
4) Run the migration/verify all good
5) Go back to user's system and create a new Outlook profile (in case of
problems) that points to Office 365
6) Login using new Outlook profile and verify mail is working
7) Delete old Profile
8) Advise user how to login to portal, help them setup their mobile phone, etc
for Outlook
Is there an easier/better way ?
