Welcome page User Accounts e-mail notification

[Greg]

On our Welcome page, under our User Accounts, there is notification of how
many programs are running in each account and how many unread e-mails are in
each account. The problem is, some e-mail accounts are linked to the wrong
User Accounts. Can anyone point me to how to sort these out. Thanks.
