"unread email messages" on welcome screen wont go away


Recommended Posts

one of the login names on the welcome screen inaccurately says that they're 3 unread messages, they are messages that i never "checked" (by actually opening) in outlook express but just sent them straight to the deleted items folder and emptied the deleted items folder, now the welcome screen seems to think they are still unread... please help.

well dang.. lucky you... i don't even get it to work at all. It works with my friends AOL account and that's a online email. It works with with Outlook Express (OE) but no freaking Outlook XP! I can't believe MS didn't get this part working and they released Office XP knowing that Windows XP would be coming out soon!! GRRRR

Go to

MyComputerHKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUnreadMailyourmsnname@hotmail.com and change the value to 0.

Logout and see if it worked.

Interesting problem you have there. And no, I don't know. There doesn't seem to be a wrapping option in the options.
