Today Nov 11, 2022 I received an email from *** Email address is removed for privacy *** with the heading Disabling TLS 1.0/1l1 for POP3 and IMAP4 on December 01, 2022. Is this real or spam?

I received an email that read: Starting on December 01, 2022, Office 365 will begin retiring Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 and 1.1 for POP3 and IMAP4. TLS is a standard protocol used to provide secure web communications for POP3 and IMAP4. Pop3 and IMAP4 are the client/server protocols for receiving emails. We will enforce TS 1.2 moving forward to provide enhanced encryption and help ensure your emails are received more securely. We have already disabled TLS 1.0 and 1.1 for most Microsoft 365 services in the worldwide environment.

WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN - December 01, 2022

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO? Our records show that your email account has reently been accessed with POP#/IMAP4 through TLS 1.0 or 1.1. POP3 and IMAP4 will not be able to receive emails with POP3/IMAP4 protocol after that. To continue accessing your email accoutn using POP3 or IMAP4, please upgrade/update your client support TLS1.2 Your emails will not be removed, but you cannot access them without upgrading your client. You can find out technical details on how to upgrade in this article: /see below:

I do not have Office 365. I have an old hotmail account, that I access through Windows on a desktop computer, and also on my Apple phone. I'm at a loss of what I should do. The letter I got sent today to my email account seems to think that I have Office 365, but I don't. Is there anyone out there that can even tell me if this is a true Microsoft email that I received? And, is there a phone number or an email address that I can write to, so that I can get easy directions, or instructions on how I can continue to access my hotmail account after December 1, 2022? Thank you

    Hi there Karl! I know it's been a long time since I gave you an update! I hope you've been doing well!

    Today, I finally downloaded the links to Chrome, and Firefox you gave me. Everything went well! I can't remember if I told you that I have made Edge show up with Google as a home page and got rid of Bing as search engine. Chrome, Firefox, and Edge are all on that Task Bar on the bottom of my display. I'm getting use to that way of looking at everything.

    Thank you for illustrations you sent of where my open documents go! I couldn't figure it out!

    Today, is the last day for the free trial of 365. So, today or tomorrow, I thought I would try to download from the Microsoft 2010 disk that I have, with the license key. Not at all sure it will work. But, I am going to give it a shot, like you thought I should! Of course, I first have to look up the instructions for the Dell 3910 and see how to open the disk thingy.

    I looked back at our thread, and I can't seem to find the link for Microsoft Office 2010 Service Pack 2. Just in case I need it. If the disk doesn't work, I will probably get the newest Microsoft Student/Home edition of Office!

    Thank you again and again FOR ALL YOUR HELP - sending me all those links is a monumental help to me, and I greatly appreciate it!

    I'm still anxious about everything - but, I've come a long way with your help, and encouragement!

    Not a question f <IF> you need it. After you install '2010, install the Service pack
