Why do some GoDaddy hosted emails work on the new Outlook and others don't?

Can someone at Microsoft please clarify somethings for me?

Our company owns approx. a dozen email accounts at GoDaddy. They are all currently using a product called Email Essentials which is billed annually. All of these emails have worked within the MS Office mail products as well as through web access and mobile apps.

This week we were forced to move from the Office Mail Application to the new Outlook application.

We successfully migrated 8 of our 12 accounts over to the Outlook application. 4 of them we cannot migrate receiving the error that our "school or organization does not have these licensed for desktop applications".

GoDaddy claims that they are not the licensee for these products, yet any connection with Microsoft sends back to GoDaddy as our "school or organization"

My question is as follows:

Never before have we purchased from a Microsoft Reseller and then be told we have to "purchase additional licenses directly through Microsoft", which is the exact words we were told.

We were also told by other GoDaddy support reps that the reason why some emails worked with the new Outlook and others didn't was because when the newer emails were created, there was an error on the part of GoDaddy in that those emails were setup for web access only, and needed to be changed over to web and App access; and they would correct the error within a few hours, which never happened.

Can you shed some light as to why we are getting these answers from GoDaddy and in fact why are some emails working and others are not, both coming from the same "organization" and using the exact same products (some even bundled with emails that are not working).

Thanks!

Jon

    Update:

    I just noticed the click box on the upper right-hand corner which reverted me back to the original MAIL program, and subsequently loaded all of my previous accounts without issue.  I left a feedback stating my issue. 

    Hope you guys get this worked out before it becomes mandatory. 

    Thanks,

    After update to Win 10 V 22H2 version, opening Mail was met with the notification that I had to install the new Outlook. Doing so caused the issue stated in my initial email. There was no option to retain the Mail program.

    If there is a way to revert back to Mail while MS finalizes their Outlook development, then please let me know the process to do that.

    Otherwise, the issue I am having where I cannot setup some mail accounts because of a "license" is a problem.

    In MS Outlook desktop, "New Outlook" as displayed on the menu bar is a choice and will not be cumpusary for some months.

    "New Outlook" is still a work in progress

    I have 7x Ex mail account under O365 Bus some of which are email Essentials/GoDaddy and have no problems.

    I also have the same mail account under the win11 Mail app, which is set as "New Outlook" all are fine.

    For you to have had to "migrate" from the existing setup there must be more to your story
