People. It is a waste of your time to call that number or any like it.

Windows Live Mail Support Ends Jan-17
The rumors are true… Microsoft will drop support for Windows Live Mail early next year. What does it mean for you? If you are using Windows Live Mail, it will NOT vanish from your computer. It just means Microsoft will stop supporting it. They will stop updating it fixing it or otherwise tinkering with it.
Windows Essentials 2012 suite will reach end of support on January 10, 2017
As you may recall Windows XP had its support terminated a few years ago. I still see people using it. It has not gone away, and Outlook Express is still around. There is no need to panic. It’s just time to weigh your options.
Here’s some options:
- Microsoft Outlook
- Mozilla Thunderbird
- Mail (built in to Microsoft Windows 10)
- Web mail
- Zimbra?
- or… just keep using Windows Live Mail.
For now, any email address from Microsoft email systems such as, example@hotmail.com, example@outlook.com, example@live.com, or example@msn.com will not work with Windows Live Mail anymore. There may be a way around the restriction by creating an IMAP account in your WLM. Just don’t chose the “automatic” settings. Instead, try the following settings:
Windows Live Mail still works with all the other IMAP/POP mail providers (specifically: tfon.com; or askjuan.net; etc…)
The Right Click
Have you ever been confused about which button to press on your mouse?
For the most part, you go about your day clicking away on everything on your computer, the internet, your solitaire game and so on. That’s right. You go about your day as a happy-go-lucky “left” button clicker.
But everything changes when you call for help with your computer and you get an instruction like: “Click here, click there, now right-click on that… and what follows is a something short of a Continue reading “The Right Click”
