What is your point? I received an email telling me to install the patch or lose my email. My point was that they could have just as easily sent an email telling us the patch was no good and they were working on a fix.

2016-01-30T18:23:14+00:00 If this article was given last May AND explains how to get WLM 2012 to sync mail, then why has this thread not been indicating & referring to that article?
Because this thread is devoted to the 'stability issues' that users experienced after installing KB3093594 on Windows 10, when it was only released for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. The problem was solved by a re-release of the patch on 17 December.
The article I wrote last year was a rescue line thrown to those struggling with trying to synchronize mail accounts that had been upgraded to Outlook Mail, intended as an interim measure until Windows Live Mail was updated to cope with the new situation.
Next time, please try to be a little more considerate & respond to our issues in a little more timely fashion.
Perhaps you don't realize that most of those 'responding to your issues' in these forums - including me - are volunteers giving freely of their time and experience to help others. Only those with blue Microsoft badges are paid to help users, but they rarely take part in discussion threads.
The forum guidelines make it fairly clear: if a search locates the same question you have, click Me too and wait for a solution to be posted. If you don't find the same question, ask your own. I can't see that you've asked one since 2013 ...
Have a good day.
I'll try, but being told that I'm inconsiderate and untimely isn't really conducive to that. I do hope, though, that you have a good day.
