[Users] Migrate from zimbra to exchange (online)

[Thor]

Many thanks. Need to investigate some more if they are to be trusted, as I
have never heard of theme before. What pricing did you get on it? we dont
have that many users. about 1000users. and many of those are also overhead
beacause of users in and out.
