Windows Live Mail is a discontinued email client developed by Microsoft that was once popular for managing multiple email accounts, calendars, and contacts from a single interface. Unlike webmail services, it stores your emails as files directly on your PC. It supports POP3, IMAP, and SMTP protocols, allowing integration with services like Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail. However, Microsoft officially ended support for Windows Live Mail in 2017, leaving users prone to errors, login failures, and syncing issues. If you’re facing such problems, you can reach the Windows Live Mail helpdesk UK at 0800-090-3202 for immediate guidance.
