I'm still using WLM on my Win 7, Win 8 and Win 10 machines. Don't plan to switch to another client unless and until, WLM stops working for me.

The second item. If you click in and examine the suggested update, you will find that it is only intended for OSs up to windows 8.1. This is not mentioned in the email. In fact, installing the update in windows 10 will, in most cases, crash Live Mail and need a reinstall.
The third item. Essentials has not been "supported"for some time. This does not, under any circumstances, mean it will stop working.I have several items of software on my computers which are not supported. My interpretation is that it means the provider will not be willing to offer any help
Windows Live Mail is a straightforward desktop, and comprehensive, mail fetcher. Unless MS deliberately tamper with it in order to drive users over to their new Mail program, there is no need to fear it will stop working. Worst case, I have the .exe stored for a quick reinstall.
Yes I agree with you. However I do not want to get caught with my pants down as Microsoft has it's plans and they will not be altered to satisfy the end use of the customer. I like WLM except for the fact that the spam filters no longer work. In the event that they drop the support as they have with Explorer then that means the client will be basically dead with no further upgrades or support.
I would like to be prepared in the event that this should happen.
Still working for me. I have 2 Microsoft accounts (and my wife has 1) plus a gmail each.
I think the point is some MS accounts require a change (so you have to install the patch) before others.
So for me if my xxx@outlook.fr or xxx@outlook.hu or xxx@outlook.co.uk or xxx@outlook.com change before the others that is all.
You just need to decide which ones you want to work as they make the switch.
My main hotmail account is not picking up mail in WLM but the other hotmail one is. I have patched WLM and readded the hotmail account that is not working it worked for a bit, but again later in the day is not picking up mail. Windows app is seeing new emails. Any ideas?
The spam goes directly into the "Junk" folder. However when I select the junk email and try to "add to sender's blocked list" or add "domain to blocked list" it doe not work? Emails keep coming in every three days? There are a number of problems in this area with WLM as defined when a search is created. Not sure why this is going on but it is. I am using a "Hotmail" address.
If you have any ideas I would be grateful for a pointer to the problem.
Other than that WLM is working just fine.so far.
Tks
