Changing your MX record in a Hybrid configuration


At some point you will want to consider moving your inbound mail routing from your on-premise mail system to Office 365's ForeFront Online Protection for Exchange (FOPE) If you do not have any on-premise gateway mail routing requirements, you may want to consider this move when most of your mailboxes are in Office 365. If you plan to do a flash cutover, then you may want to consider the MX change right away.
