Windows Live Mail got abandoned by Microsoft some years ago, Windows 10 instead comes with Mail, so one way to fix your problem would be to setup your details in Mail.

Windows Live Mail encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this message. Check your computer for low memory or low disk space and try again.
This is the message that I am getting

is this happening on any message or only one in particular and do you get an error code such as 0x00554698 or whatever ?

Find the "Windows Essentials 2012" program in W10 settings > Apps. Right click on it, then left click "uninstal". Select the repair option. After repair has completed, reboot your comp. Let us know if that has solved your problem.

Also, do you ever run "Disk Cleanup"??

its unlikely to be a program error, more a data error in the edb file.

Should look at changing e-mail program, WLM 2012 has not been supported since 2013.

just came across the error today as it happens - this message appears for any emails received after the 2004 update.

Fix is here

I just got this email this morning from my local computer repair shop. I'm a Mac user but I've had questions from friends about their Windows computers. "Microsoft has announced its email program WLM (Windows Live Mail) is not windows 10 compatible and may stop working it is recommend you use a web mail or another email program as WLM may become corrupt.
(my local) Computer Services suggest you start using Microsoft Office Outlook 2019 or a Web based FREE system".

it's a bit old and clunky, and technically end of support nowadays, but it most definitely works on Windows 10 (so far) and is really no more problematic than it always used to be...

Seems to me that is just a veiled attempt to sell you MS Office, and presumably the job of installing transferring data - the other option provided is dependent on whether your email provider has a webmail portal that you like. Some like Gmail can import messages from other systems but it comes with catches...

and they conveniently left out the option of using a alternative email client like the free Thunderbird or emclient
