That is very clever of your management. My experience is quite opposite - they are very eager to throw bucks at hosted exchange solution, only to find out shortcomings afterwards (lack of backups, lack of SSO, etc.). > > After some playing around, I think that Sogo is the route, replacing the 3 > mail servers with 1 inside our HO.

Your users would have to copy email from local folders to IMAP server. This is quite trivial actually. Ideal client side solution for use with SOGo is Thunderbird+Lightning+SOGo-Connector or SOGo webmail access. There are some limitations when using Outlook you should probably be aware of.
