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?

Despite the file details in the KB article, the re-issued patch...updates Windows Live Mail 2012 and its program files to version 16.4.3564.0916
What are the Created and Modified dates of WLMAIL.EXE v16.4.3564.0916 [or possibly v16.4.3564.1216], Noel?

Sorry, it appears that this sent box issue had started happening before I applied the patch, so it hopefully it is a temporary server issue
The updated patch still has the issue that Sent emails show From address instead of To address
After the updated patch is applied, sent emails don't appear in the Sent box.

The KB article still doesn't mention Windows 10, but the statement you may find that the program crashes soon after startseems to indicate that the revision addresses the stability problem that Windows 10 users have faced, since this only seemed to happen on Windows 10. I don't have a test rig handy, so I can't find out whether this is the case.
The update was updated on 17/12/15, and the knowledge base article provides some details of the update and the problems. I have tried the new version on Windows 10 and it no longer crashes when trying to update the calender and the calender updates correctly. I use wlm2012 the program on two different windows 10 logins, each connected to different windows live accounts. One one it still hangs while trying to synchronise the Emails. On the other it now updates correctly (it also updates an IMAP account correctly). It may be that the one that updates correctly uses the new protocol although both say 'outlook.com' on the top left of the webmail window, so that is not an indication of the whether the new version of wlm2012 will work with the account or not.
