Question asked on May 6, 2016

I've tried everything:

  • I've uninstalled the app, I've reinstalled it.
  • I've changed the file name to comm.old and restarted
  • I've done the -online version of removal.
  • I've switched to a local account and attempted to add an account.
  • I've tried accessing my hotmail through the Exchange option, and the email would not sync.

Usually after a fresh install, it will just give me error messages for just adding an email. If I manage to finagle past that and get an email on there, it won't sync. Then I try to add my accounts again, and it will say:

"The account was added successfully!"

But the account pane shows nothing added. Please help, I don't know what to do and Microsoft isn't going to support WLM2012 anymore.
