In this post, we will discuss why users are migrating GoDaddy webmail to Office 365 and how to successfully migrate GoDaddy mailboxes to Office 365. But before we discuss the solution, let’s talk about webmail.
Webmail is a web-based email account, which provides an easy way of sending and receiving emails from a web browser instead of an email client. When you use webmail, then you are directly accessing your emails from the server. It is a very effective solution for those who have multiple devices.
Webmail offers a simple way of sending and receiving emails from a browser, but it requires a consistent Internet connection. It is a very big problem for many users. Without the internet connection, you cannot access your email, and even if you have a slow internet connection, then you can’t work properly.
On the other side, Email programs and apps are better because they don’t require a consistent Internet connection, and even you can work on a slow internet connection. For example, if you are using MS Outlook or Office 365, then you can access all emails, calendars, notes, etc. without the internet connection. You can create new emails, manage calendars. Once you connected to the internet connection, then all the emails will be sent automatically. These programs will help you to save your time.

You can share your data with anyone, can include your team in projects, etc. It increases teamwork and productivity and allows third-party integration. Office 365 also includes all Office applications like Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, OneNote, Lync, etc. It is a cost-effective program and offers high-level security.
