In particular, poster jyusa recommends that you wait an hour or more after installing the patch before it'll start working. There's ongoing advice on a Tenforums thread about the idiosyncrasies of this patch. However… the Exchange ActiveSync support is extremely rudimentary and fixes none of the existing issues with mail notifications. With the patch linked in the email, KB3093594, Microsoft seems to have elected to continue to support Live Mail 2012 by replacing the DeltaSync protocol with Exchange ActiveSync. Prior to DeltaSync's creation, Outlook Express used WebDAV, which itself was shut down in 2009. MessengerGeek Jonathan Kay has a detailed description of what's happening on his blog:Īlthough not officially mentioned in the message, Windows Live Mail 2012 uses the DeltaSync protocol to send and receive email for /Hotmail accounts, so it can be assumed that they are discontinuing this protocol. Does the installer check to make sure you're running one of the required versions of Windows? No. If you read the message a little bit closer - or check out the hidden System Requirements on the download site - you'll see that Microsoft specifically says the patch is for Win 7, 8, and 8.1 only.
You can only get it back by uninstalling the updated version and re-installing the old version. Boom! No warning during the installation.

(Or, golly, was it merely an oversight?) Many people read this phrase "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" as saying, "If you use WLM on Win 8, 8.1, or 10, you need to install this patch." In fact, that isn't what Microsoft's message says. There's another sleight of hand involved. The Microsoftie who came up with this harebrained approach should be flogged. I wonder how long it'll take until we see copycat messages, apparently from Microsoft, pointing to websites that look exactly like Microsoft's download site, serving up malware. Now, I guess the general advice is "If it looks like the mail came from Microsoft, sure, install whatever they say." "Microsoft would never send you an email with a link to a patch," the saying went - until Friday anyway. For years, those of us who support Windows customers have admonished people to never click a link in an email message that says it will install a Windows update. Thanks for your understanding and continued use.Īlthough it looks like a phishing message, the message is, in fact, from Microsoft. We suggest saving this email so you can refer to it later.

Important information about your email service Here's the message, supposedly from Microsoft, that people started receiving Friday: The patch crashes many systems in many different ways, with the Calendar app taking particular credit.
