E-Mail Notifications

[Guest]

My e-mail notfications on the Welcome screen does not match or update to the
actual number of new messages that are in my Inbox(MSN Hotmail). How can I
fix this???

Use TweakUI and clear the Unread Mail count.

The next time you log in, the count will be re-computed. It should re-count
all unread mail (not sure about Hotmail).
