Cannot open emails

Hello. I have been having problems opening my windows live email. Yesterday I deleted Internet explorer. I do not know if this has anything to do with it, however I have experienced  this before I had uninstalled Internet Explorer. I typically have to restart the computer in order for my emails to open. When I restarted it this time, it didn't work. When 'm trying to open my emails I am getting error messages saying "one or more parts of this message could not be displayed" and "a problem occurred while trying to open this message."  I tried repairing it using Windows essentials repair however it did not fix it. I would like to try to fix it without uninstalling, as I have a lot of old emails on here that I am afraid to lose. Can you please help? Thank you!
