unread e mail count not resetting

[Guest]

hi,
a few days ago I deleted 94 messages from outlook express. However, every
time I start up the computer since then the administrator screen is still
saying I have 94 unread messages?!?
anyone know how to resolve this.
TIA.

It could be mail from another mail box (i.e (windows|live|msn)
messenger)

have a look with http://gilles.ronsin.free.fr/fichiers/unread.vbs
