GoDaddy transitioning to Microsoft 365 email

Is there anyone out there who is hosting with GoDaddy and has gone through this?
At first I thought this only applied to people who used GoDaddy as a registrar and created additional emails for their domain, but I think it might also apply to GoDaddy hosted websites- which sounds like a huge pain in the neck.

Love to hear the experiences of others.

Re: GoDaddy transitioning to Microsoft 365 email

They're providing options for getting their email for programs like Outlook, Thunderbird, etc. but everything I read is that it's all 365 from here on out and priced in such a way that, suprising, GoneDaddy is gonna rake in the money. Even the miinimum is on a per address rate.

Since good practice says you have postmaster, webmaster, abuse, info, sales, etc. you'll be paying for accounts that may never even get an email. Kind of like the used car salesman saying, "You wanted tires with that?" cuh-ching!
