Does this fix get the calendar & contacts working too @bloodhand?
I don't know, because I don't use calendar & contacts sync and I also have no clue how to test it...
Regarding the contacts, I can only say that when I try to send an email from an account fresh-added from scratch in WLM 2012, it shows me all the contacts I have in outlook.com webmail... As for the calendar, I have no idea...
I would expect that within WLMail, under calendar it would show holidays etc even if no personal events have been added. If you don't have any further problems with your fix I'll give it a go & test the calendar.
Unfortunately, the calendar doesn't show any holiday events etc. even if I switched months or years. But there might be another sync link for calendars somewhere... Does calendar syncing work with v1 of the patch? I never bothered to test this... I remember I had a calendar sync error when first starting WLM 2012 with the patch, but I don't know which version of the patch had this issue.
LE: Calendar doesn't work neither with v1 nor with v2 patch (tested myself a few minutes ago). I have no clue about the new URL to sync calendar, but I think Calendar used to sync with DeltaSync and they never implemented ActiveSync for the Calendar. Did the Calendar sync ever work with v1 or v2 patch in the past? If yes, then they must have changed the sync URL for the Calendar too and they never re-re-released a v3 patch with the change as they were supposed to.
I'm gonna dig further and maybe I can find the calendar sync URL. I could also try to install Outlook 2013 and fetch the calendar sync URL in its dlls.

OK, but did it ever work? Maybe it worked in the period when the patches were released. If it did, then there is a chance to ressurect Calendar syncing by fetching the correct sync URL and modify the file that contains it. If it never did, then I think chances to make it work again are very low.
Is this still working for you? Does what you wrote not contradict what tracit99 said above, that "The server address change is unnecessary since the server is determined from your email address. You can put any address you want in for the server and it will still work. I put in (https://mail.mickeymouse.com) and it still worked."
I've given up hoping calendar & contact sync will begin working & began using imap for my hotmail account as with the two patches installed I discovered the compact message store didn't work. If someone figures it out I'll try again.
