(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. The sign-up message looks exactly like malware. Still, if you plan on sticking it out, you can go ahead and grab the required update from Microsoft.Friday afternoon I started hearing about a mysterious message from Microsoft that warned Windows Live Mail users their systems wouldn't work "in a few weeks." They were exhorted to download and install a patch - there's a link to KB 3093594 - or upgrade to Windows 10 and use the new Universal Mail app (which is almost universally panned). And honestly, that's not a bad idea considering support for Windows Live Mail 2012 is most likely waning. Microsoft goes on to recommend that users on Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 go ahead and make the switch to the built-in Mail app on each OS. Never fear, however, as there's an update available that should correct this. Microsoft is alerting users that some changes coming to Outlook, Hotmail, Live, and MSN accounts will prevent email from being delivered to the Windows Live Mail 2012. If you're still sticking with Windows Live Mail 2012 as your email client of choice, there's a change to Microsoft email accounts coming that you'll want to be aware of.
