How to use emails in Azure?

Edson, there is still no email service available on Windows Azure. However you can use partner companies or specialized services. Among the best today are:

• Send Grid - I have never used it, but it is well recommended. And offers service free up to 25 thousand submissions.
• Mail Gun - I've used it, I think it's phenomenal, it pretty much has everything for sending and receiving emails. Free up to 10,000 submissions

There is also the possibility of running your SMTP server and doing the integration using Service Bus (most common) or Windows Azure Virtual Network.

Edison, how are you?

You can also use Office 365 in the most basic plan with email, calendar and other features, for a fair price, can be a good differential for your customers.

If you still want to integrate your existing sites with Azure AD, you can use SSO, with unique login to your sites and Email.

Take a look, even if it's just out of curiosity =)

As a service in a PaaS or SaaS model Azure does not have, but as mentioned above the offer for email services would be Exchange Online through O365 and that has immense integration with Azure. >

But if you still intend to have an Azure service using the IaaS features, you can do so.

I recently had two experiences, one of which was a client working with an Open Source email solution using VMs with Linux distributions and the other one I started recently is an on-premise Exchange migration process for a client and we started work based on the guidelines in this documentation link where Microsoft addresses of the prerequisites for virtualizing Exchange environments.

In this case among the prerequisites the following should be highlighted when using Azure:

> Deployment on Microsoft Azure virtual machines is supported if all storage volumes used for Exchange databases and database transaction logs (including transport databases) are configured for Azure Premium Storage.

Remembering that the Storage Premium service to date (06/22/2015) is not yet released in Brazil, but today there are no blockers to install such an environment in Azure.
