"A problem has occurred while trying to open this message."

In the last 24hrs I have been unable to open a new email or reply to anything I have received. When I click on  new message, or try to reply to one I get the following from Live drive " A problem has occurred while trying to open this message. A problem has occurred. Please try again."  I am receiving everything perfectly well and the problem? seems to be in my computer not with the server as it won't even let me open anything let alone send anything. Any answers for this one?  I have uninstalled the software and reinstalled it but to no avail! I have run an AV scan and done some maintainence. Everything else seems to be working fine. This has only happened in the last 24 hours.

    I have found a simple solution that has just worked for me. Go to unistall Windows Essentials but take repair option and it now works a treat

    I could not find a fix trying all these methods

    The eseutil.exe ran but created another issue and the emails were not accessible at all.

    I renamed / deleted the Mail.MSMessageStore file which brought me back to the original message.

    I found that if I forward the email, it opens and I can view it's contents.

    I then save it, and it appears in my Drafts folder which I can then open no problem
