Unread email count at the welcome screen XP Pro

[Jack]

have 2 accounts - both admin.
One always displays unread email count at the welcome
screen the other does not. Tried eveything under the sun
including wiping out the account and setting up a new
one, edited registry (just to find out that the account
not displaying email count has nothing in the place where
it supposed to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio
n\UnreadMail). What can I do next?

Replies welcome at (e-mail address removed)

The Unread Messages display shows the number of unread messages in your
Microsoft Passport/MSN/Hotmail account. You have to associate the user
account with a Microsoft email address to check. The easiest way to do that
is to bring up Windows Messenger and go through the account setup. Once
that is finished you can go to the login screen and then, assuming that you
have any unread messages in the email address account that you entered in
the account setup, you will see the unread message count.
