I realize that this subject has come up in other postings.  But I want to register the problem again, with my specific situation. 

Windows 8.1

Windows Live Mail 2012

Build 16.4.3564.0331

Desktop use only; no other ‘devices’.  WLM is my default Mail handler.

I do not use Hotmail, do not use Outlook.

My email connection to my ISP is POP3.  

I am signed in to WLM. 

Problem: Calendar reminders are not sent to my email.  This worked OK until a few months ago.

I have done the Repair Essentials but no joy.

I have uninstalled the program and downloaded again. Still no joy.

I have gone to the online calendar page at https://bay04.calendar.live.com/calendar/calendar.aspx?mkt=en-US.  There I have set the Notifications to 'Email notifications' and checked 'Get reminders for events and tasks' and entered my normal email address in the box provided.  

Is there any recent advice to solve this problem?
