windows logon

[Charlie Brookhart]

When I log on to Windows, directly under my user name is a notice telling me
how many unread e-mail messages I have. It is telling me that I have 10
unread messages. I have already read these messages, but it still shows that
there are 10 unread messages. I have confirmed in Outlook that there are no
unread messages. How do I clear this unread e-mail notice, and how do I set
this notice up to show me unread e-mail for my new e-mail address?
