Hello,

When you startup Windows XP the login screen (if you've got the 'Fast User
Switching' Service running) shows the number of emails unread. From where
does it get this information ? (Is there an associated registry setting)

Regards

This is what I came across when I had issues with it. I saved it as a note
for future reference.

Unread Messages Problem

Alternatively, you can use the registry to reset the unread-email counter by
performing the following steps: 1. Start a registry editor (e.g.,
regedit.exe). 2. Navigate to the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail\<email
address> subkey.
3. Double-click Message Count, set the value to 0, then click OK.
4. Close the registry editor.
