Yes. Only MS email accounts such as Hotmail.com, MSN.com & Outlook.com are effected. WLM will still work fine with other email accounts like gmail or whatever.

You can also configure WLM to work with MS accounts for email only via IMAP. This will work for email only, calendars and contacts won't sync.

I use MS OFFICE 2007 OUTLOOK for my emails... My email address is with NETZERO which used to be free and they are up to $10 now I think it is... Any POP3 account will work with MS OUTLOOK.

When we upgraded to WIN10 I declined their MS OFFICE 360 and continued to use MS OFFICE 2007.

I also declined all of the other subscription software items that came with WIN10.. My WIN10 looks just like WIN7 with small icons on the main screen and working taskbar at the bottom. It is also super fast being WIN 10... Love that part...

I use only the client version of WLM (on Windows 8.1) with a pop3 account held by GoDaddy.

Will this be affected?

Even if you have to change email clients you don't have to lose your email address. You can either use a different email client or use webmail, depending on your email address.
