    It's a blanket email sent to everyone with an Outlook.com email account. I got one also. I*n my case, it will likely mean that my old Lumia 928 Windows Phone that I've kept alive with an App Specific Password will quit since App Passwords will not be supported after the change.

    Thanks Hal. The email states that I received it because I will have an email or calendar issue or something like that. So, does that mean that my email or calendar on some device that I have or had will stop working?
