Question asked on Dec 23, 2015

I'm running Windows 10 on a desktop and rely on Windows Live Mail for all personal message functions, including archiving messages in local storage folders.  After downloading the latest update KB3093594 the application stopped functioning correctly.  I consulted this forum, and following suggestions here, backed up my storage folders, un-installed Windows Essentials, then re-installed, then applied the latest update patch.  

I had three days of correct operation and saw improvements I liked.  Now, the application has ceased to download new incoming messages.  I can see them in the W10 Mail application but they do not appear in Live Mail.

I tried re-applying the update, opting for the repair, then when that did not work, I applied the repair procedure from Control Panel.  No luck.

What can I do to fix this problem?
