Can’t read my e mail messages.

Yesterday I downloaded a bunch of pictures that were sent to me on e mail.  A message came up on the top of the Outlook screen that said that there are too many attachments that I should put them somewhere else on the computer.  So I right clicked on the mouse and saved them on My Pictures.  (Nothing is on there after doing that).  Problem now is that I can not read any of my e-mail messages and I can't get access to the pictures.  Any suggestions as to what to do?  Not very smart when it comes to computers so if you have any suggestions make them very simple.  Thank you.
