Love using Live Mail 2012? Bad news

[tangor]

Microsoft says users who access their Outlook.com addresses with Windows Live Mail 2012 will soon be cut off from sending and receiving mail.

Redmond said in a notice to customers that as of late next month (the exact day was not given), accounts hosted on the outlook.com will no longer be able to sync with Live Mail 2012.

This means that any users who still run Live Mail 2012 will not be able to send and receive messages or sync contacts and calendar entries on any outlook.com, hotmail.com, live.com, and msn.com address. After the switch-off is complete, the Live Mail 2012 client will only be able to open files from outlook.com that have been stored locally.

I don't know many who actually use Live Mail, but I am sure there are some. The change reason is new tech/sync being rolled out at outlook.com and Live Mail is not compatible. Use a different email client and all is well (among the suggestions from MS).
