Windows 10: Windows Live Mail 2012 will not connect to Outlook.com

WLM 2012 still works fine in Win 7. In W10 it no longer does. But Thunderbird has no problem with outlook/hotmail accounts, so using that.

 

Until they 'fix' the groups feature I can't use Outlook.com anyway. Anyone who needs that feature will need to go elsewhere - like GMail. Also, if you have your outlook.com account plugged into MS Outlook along with the GMail account, groups still does not work. As soon as I removed outlook.com from MS Outlook 2013, the groups feature enabled.

 

One of my Hotmail accounts will no longer send and receive from WLM 2012. It gives this error. The other still works.
Unable to send or receive messages for the Hotmail account.

Server Error: 3219
Server: 'https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x8DE00005

Looks like calendar syncing is done. In the still working Hotmail address, I entered a few things in my WLM calendar, they didn't appear in the Windows 10 Calendar app and had to be entered manually.

 

sounds like your account has been upgraded to the new sync protocol, you can use imap to get your emails but calendar & contacts still won't sync - you have to use the mail app in Win 10 for that.
Servername: imap-mail.outlook.com
Port:993
Encryptionmethod: SSL
Servername: smtp-mail.outlook.com

Yep, set up as imap, send and receive working again.

 

Great to hear that all is fine.

 

Forgot to say, Thanks for that. *Smile

 

WLM2012 does work fine with W10 as long as you use POP or imap for hotmail, outlook, live mail accounts.

I switched my setting when Microsoft sent out a mail a long while ago trying to talk people out of using WLM and to use the crap Windows10 mail or purchase the latest office including outlook.

No problems since.

 

Still on DeltaSync here with WLM2012/W7, and 6 different Hotmail accounts which all still work. Touch wood.

 

So am I on WLM 2012 Win 10 pro., I wonder if MS are upgrading accounts in alphabetical order.

 

Any way to determine if you have been updated? I know in the past you could go to Outlook.com and if you got the splash screen and it says Outlook Mail instead of Outlook Preview then you were updated. That has happened to all my accounts. Is there still something to be updated and if so how will I know when it is done? I am currently using WLM 2012 with the update that came out in December 2015 and I am still syncing just fine Mail, Calendar, and Contacts.

 

That's supposed to be the way, if it says Outlook Mail then the account has been upgraded. Mine says Outlook.com.
The update which was pulled was/is supposedly only working with upgraded accounts.

 

That rings true....My working accounts say, Outlook.com, the non-working account, the one I set up as imap, says Outlook Mail.

 

Well your internet provider offers you email with your account. You still paying if you use a free email server account.

 

1. I don't pay for my Internet access, but yeah, nice try.

2. Let me rephrase it for you then, if it makes you feel better: don't want to PAY ADDITIONALLY to READ MY EMAIL.
