unread mail messaage

[wamroa]

On my opening screen, just below my user name, appears the message: "1 unread
mail message". I have searched everywhere I can imagine, and cannot find any
unread mail. How can I get rid of that message?

The easiest way is to install the free TweakUI Power Toy from Microsoft. I
believe the "unread email messages" setting is under Explorer, but if it
isn't I'm sure you can easily find it.

Copy and paste the below as disbale.reg on your desktop then right click on
it and Select Merge to merge to your registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail\]
"MessageExpiryDays"=dword:00000000

Reboot your machine, does the unread emal shows on the welcome screen?

If you are at ease in modifying the registry:

Go to;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail
Double click the value 'message count' in the right pane and change the
value to 0/

Edit; CatchUp might take care of that. Or clicking Headers might bring
in the errant message if you're set to only download New headers.
