Unread msgs in OE

[K.C. Yuen]

In my inbox there are two unread messages. However I cannot find them out.
How do you do this? I am using XP home and Outlook Express 6.

Is this a message you see at the welcome screen when you first log on. If
yes and you see no messages in your inbox then the message is in error.

You can rectify the error as follows:
Go to Start and type "regedit" without the quotes in the run box and press
enter. Go to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail
Click the plus sign, go to the e-mail account with which you've had this
issue. Look for message count in the right pane. You'll see an entry as
follows, 0x00000000 followed by a number in parenthesis as in (98), change
the number in parenthesis to zero or whatever the count should be.

If you don't feel comfortable working in the registry, TweakUI for XP can
make the change as well:

No. This is not case. I have found out the unread msgs.
Click on View, Current view and Hide read messages.
Thanks just the same.
