Microsoft’s Outlook Team announced on May 5th, 2016 that the Windows Live Mail application will reach it’s End of Life (EOL) on June 30th, 2016.
The immediate effect of Windows Live Mail being retired is primarily that any Microsoft email accounts — @outlook.com, @hotmail.com, @live.com, or @msn.com addresses will not be able to be accessed using the Windows Live Mail 2012 email client after this date as Windows Live Mail does not support the Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) protocol.
