Windows live mail account is not working in Windows8

Hi everyone,
I am having SONY Vaio laptop with pre-installed Windows 8 on it. I am having a Windows Live Mail account.
But I am facing an issue where I am stuck completely. I have lots of emails, but I can't open/delete/move. I am getting a small message box with error message unknown message occurred.
Can somebody help me out here, please? Thanks in advance!
