Yes, you could have used Gmail instead. Getting it to poll your GoDaddy email should be the work of a moment, and mail will appear in your Gmail Inbox.
What do you actually use the GoDaddy email for? What gets sent to it and when do you respond from it?

I use it for responding to people who write to me. They either write from a contact box on my website or I've sent a mass mailing (5K) to my newsletter and they're responding to that.

I called Godaddy and I do
not have to use the MS Essentials. I have a 30 day window to get a full refund.
I talked to the Godaddy guy and he said the best way to use Gmail was to set up forwarding. Specifically he said:
1) Set up a
new Gmail account
2)Export the contacts from my Godaddy Workspace email account (which is the old Godaddy email)
3)Import the contacts into the new Gmail account.
4)Delete the Godaddy Workspace email account
5)Click on "Create Forward"
6)Delete the MS Essentials
I know you have all your email accounts in one place. I don't have the know-how to do that. (Maybe some day.) But for now, do you think the tech's suggestions make sense? Thanks.
