Original title:Windows live mail problems

For the past two weeks I have been receiving Windows Live Mail only sporadically. Some days I receive no mail. other days only one or two vs. when I check Outlook.com, I have dozens of emails every day.  I also just sent a test email to myself from Live Mail and it has not arrived in my in-box. 

About 10 days ago, I received an email that appeared to be from Microsoft indicating that my email had been accessed by someone in Russia and I asked to change my password, which I did.  Since then the problem with receiving email seemed to have gotten worse.  Can you please help resolve this problem?  I much prefer Live Mail and accessing it from my desktop icon than using Outlook on the Internet.  Thanks.
