Thanks Rupert.
My email client is showing all old messages in inbox duplicated and all new messages that show won't download, ie the three you sent.
Windows Live Mail encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this message. Check your computer for low memory or low disk space and try again.
I don't have memory or disk space issues.
If I go to Hotmail on web and try to log in I get a blank screen just like I get when I click on links in FS.
No idea what is going on.
EDIT: After killing the email client with task manager and restarting have managed to download the three emails.
