Hello Im very confused. I have outlook 2013 and just subscribed for hosted MS exchange account straight on Microsoft site. Now Im lost - I didnt find any simple tutorial what to do now. I have 6 email addresses ( every on different domain) all I need is to have access to my emails and email history from all my devices ( PC, tablets) I have Outlook 2013 on all my mobile devices. All emails  are now managed only locally from my PC and outlook 2013.

1) I need import all my existing emails saved in my computer to exchange - so i can  access it from my other devices

2) I need switch from local receiving/sending emails from my computer to exchange so it will be all synchronized  - so I can see all emails and old emails from my all devices and send/receive from all devices.

I didnt find any simple tutorial step by step how tro do it. My situation is simpla: NOw I have outlook 2013 with all my 6 pop3 emails configured in outlook 2013. ALso now I have access to hosted MS Exchange . But what now ? WHat are exact steps I should do ? Any help ?

Might help if you tell us where you got the hosted Exchange account, Office 365 or some other provider?

To import the old emails and use the Exchange mailbox as central repository, you can use the Connected accounts feature: http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/support/connected-accounts-HA102836325.aspx?CTT=5&origin=HA103002943

Or here: https://support.office.com/en-US/Article/Learn-about-connecting-to-other-accounts-74609141-8b8e-413a-b7db-8ac0a6a36488

The limit is 5 however.

Another option is to export everything to .pst files and import them to the Exchange account.

In the long run, you might consider validating your domains with Office 365 and configuring the addresses as aliases of the new mailbox.

All of the above info assumes that you are using Office 365.

Hello Vasil - thank you very much.  I use hosted Exchange account straight from Microsoft ( for 4 usd/month). I dont use office 365 but I have full version of Office 2013 Professional Plus installed on all tablets and PCs I use.

So in my situation where I have MS office pro plus 2013 installed on PC and outlook 2013 configured with 6 pop3 email addresses (every on different domain ) and several thousand of old emails and now want use MS exchange to have all that accessible not only on my one PC as it is now -  but also on my tablets ( so send/receive pon all emails and access to older emails). What should I do first...where to start ? Where you would begin ? Transferring old emails from outlook to exchange via .pst file import to exchange ? Or you will do something else as first step ?

What you are describing sounds a lot like Office 365 to me, or at least the Exchange Online offering that is part of Office 365. Have you looked into the articles I linked above, do you have the "Connected accounts" functionality available? This will be very easy to setup and will save you the trouble of dealing with .pst files.

OK that makes more sense.

To access the Connected accounts functionality, login to Exchange Online using the browser. Once you open the Outlook web App, click the gear icon, select Options, and you should be able to see the Connected accounts tab. For detailed instructions follow the articles I linked above. Give the feature a try and let us know if it fit your needs.

Yes I have EXCHANGE ONLINE account with Microsoft but NOT using OFFICE 365 but regular full version of OFFICE 2013 PRO PLUS installed on my PC. I lookd to articles but its not very clear. Where I can check if I have "Connected accounts" ? Somewhere in Exchange administration ?

I cant even find where from exchange online administration I can open outlook web app ? Can find it anywhere..

It's not in the admin center, it's in the per-user mailbox setting. Just go to this address: https://outlook.office365.com/ecp/?rfr=owa&owaparam=modurl%3D0&p=account

Im getting 403 error when i click on link..
