mail messages

[Pete]

On my log on screen it displays how many unread mail
messages i have in my mailbox. Does anyone know how to
get rid of that message?

Is this from logging off from your computer?
The only time that happens is if you log off without
reading your mail. Try reading and deleting it or file it
however you do then log off then log on again it should
be clear then.
