Migrate email from GoDaddy to Microsoft 365

Question

Hi All,

Hope you are doing fine.

One of my friends has a paid domain and email licenses in GoDaddy (Business Professional & Email Essentials) and they want to migrate to O365 Business. I've already contacted GoDaddy and as per them, they can help with the domain transfer only but for the migration of the emails, the user needs to speak to one of the Microsoft Support. I talked to one of the Microsoft support and below is the link that she shared with me.

I would just like to know if the above thread works on anyone of you who Migrate their emails from GoDaddy to O365 and was there any downtime for the users?

Thank you and looking forward to your positive responses.

As for the impact of migration on users, how long will it, it can depend on how much data is going to be migrated, the network conditions: Migration performance factors. I suggest you send a notification for users for upcoming migration and service changes.
