It a serious possibility that a future Windows build update will stop Live Mail working completely. Until that happens I’m going to keep using my version.
As a backup I’ve added the same accounts to the mail app.

Live Mail has many features that the Mail app doesn’t.
The option to check the Header/source of the message is a boon if you’re reporting the message to your ISP & they require this information.

Yes for techies, it's essential to be able to check the source. You can make sure the message is a fake when they imitate another name or e-mail address, for example,
The new Mail app also is not storing your e-mails on your computer. For me it's a no-no because if you don't have an internet connection you can't see the e-mails you already had. I often look at informations in my mail box when the internet is disconnected.

I don't think so because hundreds of updates have been made on my machine since I have installed W10 and it's the first time something like this happens.
So I hope I can receive many more updates without any problem.
I don't think it will stop working completely soon because there is no reason as long as you don't change the OS or Windows version. If they release Windows 11, then there is a risk.

WLM may also stop working if your mail provider determines that its security does not meet their standards.
I can't find the old announcement on WLM support ending but I do recall security was mentioned.
Running any unsupported product for such an important task presents a risk in my opinion. No one has to share this opinion.
As long as you have your important emails backed up in one method or another then I guess you've mitigated the risk.Last edited by Caledon Ken; 03 Sep 2020 at 10:36.

How does my e-mail provider knows which e-mail software I use?
The only thing that WLM could eventualy not do in the future is more advanced identification tasks.
From the reader side, you can make WLM quite secure by disabling dangerous content and setting "folder rules" to sort trash the way you like and much more effectively than your provider would. But it takes time to set up all the rules and it's a constent task because you need to add more rules and keywords as new spams emerge.
The second thing is to back up your e-mail. In this regard, it much more tedious to do so with on-line based clients than off line ones.

I imagine it is the protocols used. Just as gmail knows when you are using a less secure product, they provide a setting to allow.
Backing up some online accounts are tedious but for most there are simple things that can be done. Like add a forward to an alternate account or in gmail's case import to an alternate account.
For me I print really important emails as PDF's if they contain things like licences keys.
I'm not arguing for or against online or offline accounts.

As for the future changes part, most Version Upgrades tend to remove customizations in the Registry, haven't seen many such problems with Build updates. The Version Upgrade rewrites more of the Windows installation with defaults than the Builds do.
