Windows Live Mail
ConnectNC no longer supports any version of Windows Live Mail. It has been discontinued by Microsoft. Windows Essentials 2012 suite reached end of support on January 10, 2017.
There are two things you can do if you want to try to continue to use Live Mail:
- We will make a best effort to fix your problem, by remoting in to your computer for $65 per incident (not to exceed 45 minutes).
- Contact Microsoft by going to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/contactus/
