Windows Live Mail stopped working after last Windows 10 update

Since the last update of Windows 10, when I open Windows Live Mail every message produces "Message cannot be displayed." I tried running the "repair" utility, but nothing changed. Is this a widespread issue? I really liked Live Mail and had a lot of messages saved that I can no longer access. HELP!

    After the Microsoft Edge update my Windows Live Mail stopped working as well with the following error.

    Unable to send or receive messages for the Tampabay.rr account. An unknown error has occurred.

    Server: 'pop-server.tampabay.rr.com'

    Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800C013E

    Protocol: POP3

    Port: 110

    Secure(SSL): No

    Any thoughts on this error? All my settings are correct for this account.

    I gave up and loaded "eM-Client".  It works almost as good as "Windows Live Mail" used to work.  I guess Microsoft doesn't care.  I am not using online storage that I have to rent by the month.

    Thank you for your offer to help.  I am not sure what worked but somehow things have fallen back into normal, even the arrow keys which now work.  It seems the computer irearranged itself (???) for the best this time.  It is scary but I will give myself a pause and take it as it is.
