Is paying for Microsoft 365 required for GoDaddy email accounts to work?
Using a MS Family 365 Subscription with a GoDaddy domain for family email addresses
I am currently using Godaddy for my Microsoft 365 Email Plus, is there any way to use another server cheaper and save? or transfer the microssoft 365 to another options?

I feel like I haven't gotten a straight answer from GoDaddy on this.
I received an email that says my email accounts will be suspended unless I pay them for "Microsoft 365 Email Essentials Basic".
I did the "GoDaddy Workplace changeover" thing about 3 months ago, with no problems.
I know "GoDaddy is evil" and will most likely be going to another vendor if this MS 365 thing is true.
Hi Diane,
Thanks for your suggestions. I have checked and the Plusnet account is live and is an IMAP account. I have used the export/import wizard to export it as a .pst file.
My apologies but I'm confused by the next suggested steps -
'After exporting IMAP account, you can import the old mail into the outlook.com mailbox or leave the pst in the profile but change the name to avoid confusion. If you want to import it, you need to remove it from the profile.'
Is the .pst file that I've just exported/created the 'old mail' that you refer to?
Is the otlook.com mailbox my OWA account rather than Outlook on my Laptop?
How would I change the name of the of the profile?
Where would I import it to and how would I remove it from the profile?
Sorry, really lost at the point!
As an additional piece of info, here's how the two accounts show up in the Account Information tab, but both show in Outlook itself as identical, even though they are definitely different email addresses. The first 'Home' email is in fact the plusnet ISP based account and the second, is NOT a plusnet account.
Hi,
I'm Taiwo and I'd be happy to help you with your question. In this Forum, We are Microsoft consumers just like yourself.
Since you're using a GoDaddy domain and want to have multiple family email addresses with that domain, you can use that for email hosting as well. Microsoft 365 offers email services with custom domain support. You can set up email accounts for your family members using your domain within Microsoft 365. you have a few options:
- Remove both the domain-based email account and the Plusnet email account from Outlook.
- Add only the domain-based email account to Outlook and check if it appears correctly with the correct identity. Ensure that you are using the correct server settings provided by your email hosting provider (either GoDaddy or Microsoft 365).
- Send and receive emails using the domain-based email account to ensure it's functioning properly within Outlook.
- Once the domain-based email account is working correctly, add the Plusnet email account to Outlook as a separate account. Make sure you enter the correct server settings for the Plusnet account. By adding the accounts separately and testing each one individually, you should be able to resolve any conflicts or issues with Outlook displaying the accounts incorrectly.
I hope this helps ;-), let me know if this is contrary to what you need, I would still be helpful to answer more of your questions.
Best Regards, Thank You.
