Much of the information in that email which you posted is true, WLM is being retired in mid June. However the message was spam. Had you taken note of the email address of the sender, you would have seen it had been sent from "[email protected]. There is no such address within the Microsoft email system. I showed the message to Microsoft support, and they verified this and that the links contained within the email would not take you to where they appeared they would.

Windows Live Mail 2012 does not support the synchronization technologies used by the new Outlook.com. When account upgrades begin at the end of June, you will no longer be able to receive email sent to your Outlook.com account in Windows Live Mail 2012. Rest assured, you can always access your email by logging into Outlook.com from any web browser, and you will continue to have access to all your data that is currently in Windows Live Mail 2012. If you currently use Windows Live Mail 2012, we recommend that you switch to the Mail app in Windows today. The Mail app is built in to Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10, and has a more modern design. To begin using it, simply launch the app and add your Outlook.com account. If you are using Windows 7, you can upgrade to a newer version of Windows to enjoy the Mail app and the other benefits. If you do not wish to upgrade, you can access your account via a web browser, or, you can take advantage of a free one-year subscription of Office 365 Personal , and use Outlook 2016 to connect to your account.* This Office 365 subscription also includes other productivity applications such as Word, PowerPoint and Excel. It works on Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, and Windows 10. Please take action before June 30 th , 2016 , which is when we’ll begin upgrading accounts that currently use Windows Live Mail 2012. If you have more questions, please find answers to common FAQs in this help article , or you can contact Microsoft support . We recognize that changes like this can be difficult, and apologize for any inconvenience this causes you. We hope that you’ll enjoy the benefits of moving to the new Outlook.com. -----Original Message----- From: Andy Baracco via Talk Sent: Thursday, May 12, 2016 2:31 PM To: Pamela Dominguez ; Window-Eyes Discussion List Subject: Re: Windows live mail going away question Well, that doesn't mean that it will disappear from your computer. There are folks who are still using Eudora.
