Opening from a Desktop app is usually the problem... try opening directly from the browser to read the messages... as far as the desktop , there are tons of settings and updates that must be done.. it could take a lot of time and trial an error.. just make sure your using the most updated version of the software otherwise your stuck using the browser only.

I have lost all of my email addresses & past emails & folders in Live Mail ... how can I find &; restore them?
open up the programs section and in the search bar at the bottom type in a file that you know should be somewhere and enter
the computer will search all files to find it
that may give you the path that they are all in

I can send emails but can't receive any
Do you use any 3rd party software to check your email (like Outlook)?
If so, you should probably check your email account settings, specifically the POP3 and SMTP server settings. The POP3 server is for incoming email and SMTP is for outgoing emails. So in your case you will have to double check your POP3 server settings.
Hope this helps you!
