Original Title: The New Outlook.com
The latest communications bomb for Windows Live Mail 2012 users states the following:
"Anyone who currently uses Windows Live Mail 2012 to connect to Outlook.com needs to switch to an alternate email application..."
Does anyone know what mail protocol the "New Outlook.com" uses and what other email clients support that protocol other than Office Outlook? Obviously it is not POP or IMAP, as stated in their communique.
FYI, I am using Windows 10 and I have a lot of Storage Folders in WLM 2012. I do not want to move them to the web and apparently the Mail app doesn't support Storage Folders. I have 2 @msn.com accounts with server setup as follows:
"My mail server is an HTTP server"
Server URL: https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/sync.aspxemail
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Original Title: How do I end windows live mail 2012 ?
Windows 2012 live mail use to be the best. Now with w-10 it sucks. Can't send photos. It screws your whole sys. up ?
Hello,
For the powers that be that made the hasty decision to upgrade outlook.com and leave Windows Live Mail 2012 users behind, I would like to point out that you're going to break customers like me come 6/30/2016 and you have offered ZERO good solutions.
I use my personal Hotmail.com account from home using Office Outlook 365. I'm also able to use Windows Live Mail 2012 if I want, and I can use the Windows 10 Mail app but choose not to, since it's a downgrade from the Windows 8.1 mail app
At work, however, I'm severely restricted in options, and I hazard a guess that most corporate users are with paranoid IT these days
1. I cannot use the Windows 10 Mail app or ANY Windows built-in app, not even the Windows Store, because IT blocks all these "dangerous" apps to avoid data leakage.
2. Even though I use Outlook 2013 for work, I cannot add my Hotmail account to because:
a. I already use if for corporate email but when I add my Hotmail account, it works for a day or two then mysteriously stops being able to sync. If I only have Hotmail as the only account in Outlook 2013, it works reliably, but of course then I don't get corporate email which is not a viable solution.
b. Even when it works, using Outlook 2013 for two email accounts is clunky and confusing, often causing me to email coworkers "from my Hotmail address" or vice versa
3. I cannot use the Outlook.com web site because the interface for that app is severely limited and lacking basic functionality in any acceptable email app. For example, there's no way to avoid marking a message read when it's selected, and flagged messages take up valuable space at the top. On top of this, it's display of message conversations is beyond confusing!
This is why I had settled on using Windows Live Mail 2012 as it reliably synced my email, allowed me to clearly separate corporate from personal email, and was decent and usable compared to webmail interfaces.
Can you please re-visit your decision?

The advice I've just received (if I want to keep and have access to my stored emails which I do) is to create new folders in Outlook.com and transfer the stored mails from WLM to those new folders. I have 4GB of stored mails in over 800 folders, which would be an enormous task to undertake, even if all all the mail came only via Outlook. WLM can handle multiple email accounts and I have five. The stored mail might be from any of them.
It seems wholly unreasonable to have to do all this. It would take months to do it manually.
Microsoft have developed this latest gizmo which I didn't ask for. WLM is a perfectly adequate tool for me and now they are going to remove WLM functionality and I have no wish or time to undertake this massive task which has just dropped out of the sky. My questions are:
- Will they please develop a tool to allow this transfer to be automated?
- The guidance only refers to stored Outlook emails, please extend it to include other emails within that same storage?

So I had to download Windows movie maker in order to change an audio file into a video for youtube, so I downloaded it, but couldn't use the file which was a .WAV file, so I re-rendered the file into a .WMA file because Windows told me that THAT file type is supported, but when I try to use the file in the movie maker it says the file type is not supported. Totally confused, please help.
