deleting email notification

[Guest]

When logging onto XP I notice that I get a notification as to how many emails
I have un-opened on my user account and the address is also listed.
I know their is an option to turn this feature off but would appreciate if
anyone can remind me where it is done.

Thanks - Rob.

Tip:

or:

Disable Unread Mail on the Welcome Screen (Line 100)

To remove an account or to change the count manually Go to:
