Any suggetions ?

There's a long thread about this issue just below yours.

Put simply it appears that GoDaddy is going to be forcing all its users to switch to a MicroSoft Only solution. Isn't clearly spelled out, but from my reading of it - They are dropping all support for POP3, SMTP, and IMAP to move to what they have decided is a more secure setup. Some of the wording seems to say they are giving a like $50 value of email address for the first year, but I'd assume that would only be for 1st year, and seems to be for each mail user. Assume they are getting a percentage of that fee, so getting users switched to it now, but then having users pretty much locked in for future costs.
I might be wrong in my reading of info, but would recommend trying to get an answer from them in writing. I'm not a GoDaddy user, but sent a message asking for info, but think it was a short time ago. You as a paying customer might get a better answer. Looks like marketing people made the change rather than a tech reason.
Some are looking at going to other providers, some are looking to stay with GoDaddy for hosting, but moving email to a different provider that still supports POP3/SMTP/IMAP.
But would be sure to get the real cost for both the first, and later years.
