I recently had to deal with this. I created a free Outlook account. I transferred the domain from Gsuite to cloudflare and signed up for the email beta (all email is forwarded to the Outlook account).

I moved the email using Outlook on Windows (I have a separate MS365 plan for my family so I have access to Outlook). I just connected both accounts to Outlook and then dragged and dropped the emails from the Gsuite account to the Outlook account. Honestly, this was the easiest part of the whole process of leaving Gsuite.

This setup doesn't allow me to send email from the domain, but it does allow me to receive email. It's for a small HOA so I'm fine with this arrangement. If I wanted to send email, then I'd probably sign up for o Microsoft plan that allows me to do that. These are described in other comments.

Similar experience. I moved a domain of mine to O365 from GSuite (Google Workspace) about 2 years ago. I am currently in the process of migrating BACK to Google Workspace.

Generally unhappy with O365 email over the last 2 years. Few of my complaints are: Subpar experience on Outlook for Android. (Gmail is so darn good). Just ready for my Gmail experience again. Overall site management using Microsoft's web dashboard for domain, permissions, spam, 2FA, is %ו@#$ NOT GOOD! I have read so many outdated, no-longer-valid support docs that I'm simply done. "Cloud" products like this have a hell of a time keeping their docs up to date and relevant. Google isn't immune here. But for whatever reason I have far less problems with several other domains I manage that are pure Google Workspace, er.... GSuite....er Gotigle Apps. Y'all get my drift.
