Windows XP at the point of the user screen it tells me I have one unread mail.

Well I read it yesterday so why does it keep telling me something I have already done ?

Can I reset it

the delights of having messenger intergrated with the operating system???
I dont know how you can reset it, I assume it will realise soon enough, but once for me it went crazy and told me I had 950 new emails.

stupid microsoft, if you cant do something right, why bother putting it in!:salute:

If you don't want to show unread mail on the Welcome screen, follow these instructions:


1. Start the Registry Editor (click on START, RUN, type in "regedit" and press enter)

2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ UnreadMail

3. Double-click the value MessageExpiryDays in the right pane, and change the value to 0

4. Close the registry editor and log off from Windows for the changes to take effect

As you can probably guess from the MessageExpiryDays name of the value, it controls the number of days when new (unread) email will be considered read. So even if a message remains unread in your email program, after the number of days given in MessageExpiryDays have passed, the email won't be counted as unread on the Welcome screen.
