Windows 10: microsoft windows live mail Not compatible with New Email systems

I think you'll like it. It has an audible email notification that's a nice feature.

 

WLM & the Outlook.com message are valid; the message is just badly timed!

This is the issue: MS is performing an upgrade in waves of Outlook.com accounts. Unfortunately, they jumped too soon to send out this message, and it's crashing WLM if your account hasn't yet been upgraded.

Here's the word (courtesy of Ron Sommer MVP):

Login to your outlook.com account using a browser. Does it say Outlook.com or Outlook Mail (Preview)?


KB3093594 should only be installed if you have an outlook.com account that has been upgraded to Outlook Mail (Preview).


If you have more than one outlook.com account, you will have to decide if you want the accounts that have not been upgraded to Outlook Mail (Preview) to work or do you want the accounts that have been upgraded to work.



No Outlook Mail (Preview) accounts - do not install KB3093594.

An account has upgraded to Outlook Mail (Preview) - install KB3093594.

 

sorry to see an upset users ,not sure why you are taking it out this thread ,as mentioned ,report any abuse to the moderators , any my post is referring to outlook.com mail ,, office outlook mail client ..

I will have to try out some of the mail clients mentioned ,thanks for the suggestions

 

Sorry but the response from the MVP is not correct. This update works in Windows 8.1, just not in Windows 10. Neither of my email accounts have been converted but function fine in WLM 2012 with the update in 8.1 so it appears whether an email account is outlook.com or Outlook Mail (preview) makes no difference. Otherwise , it wouldn't work in Windows 8.1. Hopefully, someone with Microsoft will fix the problem with the update so that it will work in Windows 10, too.

 

I've been playing around with eM Client for a few hours now. So far I think I like it better than Outlook and Thunderbird. Between playing around with it and reading the eM Client forum post I'm getting it setup the way I want it.

 

Good to hear. Another member mentioned it here some time ago and I checked it out. It's one of the best email clients I've used.

 

Thanx for Info;

Maybe now I can get out of the MS Doctorial Regime that I was pleased with for so many years!

It has become unfriendly to the elderly by forcing us to use programs that are not suitable our lifestyles!
And I speak for the residents of the Retirement home that I live.

YES! People over 65 do use computers!

*Smile Yes they do ... My own Dad, who is in his mid-90s, has Win 10 Pro on his laptop

 

Good news for all Windows Live Mail 2009 users. You can find the Windows Live Essentials 2009 complete suite at Old Version of MSN Messenger Live 2009 (14.0) Download - OldApps.com. However, you cannot install it over 2012. There are special instructions somewhere on the internet to remove necessary files and folders in v2012. In my case, I just did a clean install of Windows 10 and installed WLM2009 with ease. You will need to change the compatibility on the exe file to XP or W7. That's it! Love that email client which allows a right-click, Sendto option to attach images to the new email without any skydrive interference.

 

For sure the 2009 version has always been my favorite but @Hotmail.com and @Outlook.com email addresses will not sync with it once they make whatever changes they are making to those email accounts. I used the 2009 version in Windows 8.1 in compatibility mode for years and have installed it without issue in Windows 10. For anyone who have other email accounts other than outlook and hotmail it still works fine.

 

So all can see that WLM 2009 does work on Windows 10, here is a screenshot of it opened with Firefox in the background and the forum thread highlighted. I also clicked About Windows Live Mail. Like I said in past threads, you cannot install Windows Live Mail 2009 on a system that once had WLM 2012. (better known as Windows Essentials 2012). If you really want this Client (recommended) you will have to Reset Windows 10 and install WLM 2009 along with your other programs.

 

No one ever said that 2009 WLM wouldn't work on Windows 10. It will, but Microsoft's new protocol for @Outlook.com and @Hotmail.com email addresses will NOT work with the 2009 version of WLM. So far WLM 2012 with patch does work with this new protocol but some of the features of WLM do not. It has nothing to do with Windows 10. It has to do with the new email protocol.
