other peoples' emails...

when i am in the welcome screen, i choose my account to
log into... but there is a message on my account
saying "5 unread mail messages" or something like that...
if i click on it, it will give me the email address that
the 5 unread messages are under... for example: my sister
used my computer and checked her email... she used my
account because i don't turn on the guest account... now
everytime i log in, it says how many unread emails she
has... how do i get rid of that... my fiance's account is
also on the same computer but his doesn't do that for his
friends or whoever is using his account... how do i get
rid of that "5 unread mail messages" message?
