Windows Live Mail 2011

I use and and others will as well.

Is it true that Microsoft is stopping supporting it?


Is it correct or have I been misinformed?

It wouldn't surprise me if they are doing so. Few folks use email clients any more, with most using web based email services, so MS won't want the support costs.

If you want to stick with a "real" email client then something like Mozilla Thunderbird would do

support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/thunderbird

and there's instructions on how to migrate from windows live mail here:

I use EMclient (it is free).

I use Mozilla Thunderbird, which is also free. It's been good since 2008 when I migrated from Outlook. It also works across several operating systems, so one programme fits all.

I was using windows live mail until a few months ago, but mine just stopped working, so i assumed that microsoft had stopped it ?
After careful consideration of all the free email clients, i opted for mozilla thunderbird. I have found thunderbird really easy to set up & i have had no significant problems with it !

I've now got both my laptops back one has had more memory added to it via my son-in-law and my spare laptop he has done a Window re-install for me.

I'm still using Widows Live Mail 201 on my main laptop but loaded Mozilla Thunderbird and set it up on my spare laptop until I get use to it then I'll use Thunderbird.
