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?

Very unfortunate situation.
I get it... it isn't logical for Microsoft to support 2 (well, actually 3) email applications.
It's just that Windows Live Mail is one of the best applications ever to come from Microsoft and Windows 10 Mail is one of the worst applications to come from Microsoft.
I have an Office 360 subscription. I guess I'll switch from Windows Live Mail to Outlook. Outlook is a well designed application. It's just that Outlook is kind-of overkill for my needs.
I just got the same email too!
I just received an email from Microsoft with the subject line:
"Action required for users of Windows Live Mail 2012"
Microsoft is discontinuing support of Windows Live Mail servers in June.

Don't know about anyone else but I'm still using windows live mail - no updates - no problems - long may it last.
