When I see my username and icon on the welcome screen it constantly shows
that I have 2 new messages. I do not have 2 new messages!! Is there any way
to clear this?

Open your registry and find or create the key below.

Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value, called
"MessageExpiryDays" and set it according to the value data below.

Example:-
User Key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail]
Value Name: MessageExpiryDays
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = disabled, 3 = default)

Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the
change to take effect.
