问题 提问于 2016年1月25日
Recently I received two emails; one from 'Outlook' and one from 'Microsoft Mail Server', both essentially telling me that the Windows Live Mail service I use (with a @hotmail.com address) will be closed unless I install an update.
A copy of one of the emails is below.
What I want to know is whether this is a legitimate message from Microsoft or whether it is a hoax of some sort.
can anyone enlighten me? Has anyone else received this message and gone ahead with the update? If so did it work ok?
thanks

| Dear user, |
| In a few weeks, we will be making some changes to our email services that might impact your @outlook.com, @hotmail, @live or @msn email account. These changes will prevent your email from being delivered to the Windows Live Mail 2012 application that you use. |
| In order to continue using Windows Live Mail 2012 to send and receive email for your account, you need to install the latest update published here. |
| If you use Windows Live Mail 2012 on Windows 8, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, we recommend that you switch to the built-in Mail app in Windows to stay connected and get the latest feature updates on Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. |
| Windows Live Essentials 2009 and 2011 are not supported any more, and you will need to update to Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 10 and use the Mail app, or use www.outlook.com. To learn more about the Mail app, please click here. |
| We also recommend all Windows Live Mail users on Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 to upgrade to Windows 10 and use the built-in Mail application to stay connected and get the latest feature updates. |
| We suggest saving this email so you can refer to it later. |
| Thank you for your understanding and continued use. |
| Yours sincerely, The Outlook team |
