Email is one of those things that no matter who you use as a provider, even yourself there is never any expectation of privacy. Email is a old protocol that is very easy to read as it is traveling around the internet. The best you can do it have your own server and who really wants the headaches associated with running your own mail server? The next best option is PGP and that requires both parties to have the key to read it and for us not worth the hassle. If you want privacy go back to sneakernet ie. hand deliver the messages.


Back to the topic, Rackspace is very feature light compared to the other but there price shows it, $2 or $3 with contact sync or $10 for exchange. The benefit is Office 365 is the lesser cost upfront of desktop versions of Office, long term 2y+, it costs more than just buying Office. I think we are leaning to Google Apps with a few people still using desktop office but the main client/office solution of choice being Thunderbird + LibreOffice + Office Viewer.
