log in screen problem

[jon]

Why does my Log In Screen tell me I have unread email
messages when I've already viewed them? Is it possible
to remove this notification entirely? Or at least a way
to tell the Windows that I've already read it? This
occurs even several days after I've read the messages.

Thanks for your help.
