In the Email Experience Manager (EXM), a message might be rendered for the incorrect recipient when xConnect becomes unavailable. The contact ID that is used to create the message does not correspond with the email address that the message is sent to.
To resolve the issue, consider one of the following options:
Be aware that the hotfixes were built for the specific Sitecore XP versions and must not be installed on other Sitecore XP versions or in combination with other hotfixes. In case any other hotfixes have already been installed on a certain Sitecore XP instance, send a request for a compatibility check to Sitecore Support.
Note that the ZIP file contents must be extracted to locate installation instructions and related files inside. The hotfix must be installed on a CM instance and then synced with other instances using standard development practices.
