Unread mail messages notification doesn't change

The unread email notification says I have 26 unread messages.
Is there a way that I can have this update regularly as it isn't
changing?
Can I change the email address I use or must it be a yahoo/hotmail
address?
Thanks
PS - I did look in Registry at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\UnreadMail\
but saw nothing about changing the time update. I tried changing the
email address, but it still showed 26 unread emails for the different
address.

Hi

Registry key - in the right hand column, double click on =
'MessageExpiryDays' and change the value to zero(0).

Registry key - in the right hand column,
double click on 'MessageExpiryDays' and
change the value to zero(0).

Under the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\UnreadMail\
all I have is:
ab (Default) Reg_SZ Value not set

Then there is a subdirectoru under that with my email address as the
title of the folder.
Under that it shows:
ab (Default) Reg_SZ Value not set
Application Reg_SZ msimn
Message count Reg_DWord 0x0000001a(26)
TimeStamp Reg_Binary 1c 33 6b 9a ae 41 c3 01

I don't see any MessageExpiryDays entry.
ANy other ideas?

"©®",

Use the following link;

http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_d...mailnotify.htm

or

To change it manually - Start/Run/Regedit:

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

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

Currently, there are only two applications that support this feature,
Microsoft Outlook Express and Windows Messenger.

Note that messenger itself is an addin to OE.
