I got mail

[Glen Wagner]

I purchased a notebook with XP and configured it for my
wife and myself. When I go to log in, it tells me I have
127 new e-mails? But when I open outlook I have none?
Where is it getting this e-mail from and how can I disable
it?
Thanks In Advance

Be careful of registry hacks, be sure to export the registry on the file
menu so you have a copy before proceeding with the procedure below:

Go to Start and type "regedit" without the quotes in the run box and press
enter. Go to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\UnreadMail
Click the plus sign, go to the e-mail account with which you've had this
issue. Look for message count in the right pane. You'll see an entry as
follows, 0x00000000 followed by a number in parenthesis as in (98), change
the number in parenthesis to zero or whatever the count should be.
