Although I have read all my email messages, I am getting a
message from Outlook 2003 that says I have one unread mail
message.

Wrong: I have searched all my mail folders, including the
archives, and found no unread messages.

I have closed and re-opened Outlook, and restarted Windows
XP, all to no avail.

Anybody have a fix?

Do you have any views set on the folder? Right click on the toolbar and
select to display the advanced toolbar. In the View Window, ensure it is
set to All Messages, not a filtered one. Also, ensure that your folder is
not sorted using the Icon column, but the Received column.

Thanks for your response!

No, I don't have any views set. View window is set
to "Messages," and the folders are sorted on the Received
column.

I still get the message.

Can you use Advanced Find and select Unread Messages to search for? When
you find it, mark it as read.

I did that, and could find no unread messages.

However, the problem has gone away after I received
several emails and either responded, filed, or deleted
them.

So thanks for your help... I guess it will have to be
filed in the puzzle box!
