iFiredog,
I apologize... I was carelessly flipping through too many posts.

Have been using this program for months now on windows 10 32 bit, and I get an email saying that MS are making changes to Outlook servers and to patch WLM 2012 and a download link.
I applied the patch and now after a few seconds of being open WLM 2012 crashes while updating the calendar.
Anyone know a fix for this? I have taken the patch off by repairing Windows essentials 2012 from the Programs and features dialog, but anyone know why this patch causes WLM to crash after a few seconds?

They both work similarly to WLM.

Thanks, but that's not what Robear asked for ...
What are the Created and Modified dates of WLMAIL.EXE ...
Here they are again, along with the last access time (when the file was installed), all times UTC:

2015-12-20T08:55:12+00:00 Guess MS really wants Win10 users to access Outlook.com/MSN/Hotmail/Live.com accounts via Win10's Mail app instead of good ol' WLMail, eh?
I originally thought this, but I am not so sure now given the speed with which they started responding to the reports of problems. Perhaps some parts of MS are keen to push the mail app, and as a result wlm has been under-resourced, but perhaps also the wlm group are keen to keep wlm running on Win10. As wlm does exactly what I want, unlike Win10's mail app, I am keen to support them.

That is the date you created the file on your PC - not the date and time that Microsoft created the file for distribution.
This is what you should be looking at:
