It's probably referring to the Welcome message in OE or Outlook. Open
Internet Options, Programs tab, and change your Email program to the
correct one, and I THINK that will stop happening.
 
Compliments of Kelly:

Use TweakUI/Logon/Unread Mail and Repair/Unread Mail Count

Disable Unread Mail on the Welcome Screen (Line 100)

To remove an account or to change the count manually:

Start>Run>Regedit>navigate to this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail\[Your
E-Mail Address]. In the right pane modify: Message Count, Change it to 0.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail. In
the right pane modify: MessageExpiryDays Change it to 0.

Without more information, and certainly not being an expert, I'll take a
wild-ass guess:

Because you have a message in Outlook's Inbox.

If you read the email, the notification will disappear. Don't delay - you
may have won a Nigerian lottery and the money won't wait forever.
