When Windows Live Mail boots up, there is no list of incoming emails

Are you sure you've actually received new emails? My experience with Windows Live Mail is that it works 99% of the time.

I can send emails but can't receive any

Do you use any 3rd party software to check your email (like Outlook)? If so, you should probably check your email account settings, specifically the POP3 and SMTP server settings. The POP3 server is for incoming email and SMTP is for outgoing emails. So in your case you will have to double check your POP3 server settings. Hope this helps you!
