Transfering email accounts to BPOS while keeping website on Office Live Small Business

Question

Hi,

My company is actually using Office Live Small Business for out website our email addresses, i.e. www.company.com and accounts like user1[at]company.com , user2[at]company.com , etc.
We would like to migrate all our email addresses to BPOS , but as BPOS does not provide any website solution, we would like to keep our actual website on OfficeLive, i.e. :
- www.company.com (Office Live)
- user1[at]company.com , user2[at]company.com (BPOS)

I couldn't find a way or documentation to achieve this, but i'm sure it's possible ;-)
How could we do this ?

Thanks a lot,

B.

Answer 1

I hope I'm not too late!

You merely have to change your MX record to the BPOS system and that is it: your email moves to the BPOS system and your website stays where it is.

Cheers!

Answer 2

Thank you Mehnock !
No, you're not too late. That's what we planned to do. Your answer confirm this simple thing :-)
Now the question is : how will we get the code from Office Live to update our entry at Melbourne IT ! We asked to the support, no answers yet...

Thanks a lot

Answer 3

I am very interested to get an answer to that too, cause I have NEVER been able to get back any information (or instruction) from or about thqt famous company (Melbourne IT). Domains are usually just lost (2 domains lost as far as now) so I am used to take my domain elsewhere (registrar) and use the ns1/ns2 settings to leverage OfficeLive services.
