Answer»

when i get to the main "user login" page on windows, it says i have i unread mail message. however, when i go to my outlook i have no unread messages there and it is very annoying.
i know this isnt a huge problem, but it's driving me insane. does ANYONE know how to fix this?

it all SEEMED to happen today after i installed mcafee VIRUS scan plus 2007. i was having lots of other problems after i installed it, but ended up uninstalling it and it seems to have fixed most of the problems.if you have hotamil or any web based mail it will also show up there Quote from: UNLOVEDWARRIOR on July 26, 2007, 11:44:44 PM

i was thinking the same thing, but i checked it and it is saying i have mail in the EMAIL address that is only linked to my outlook and nothing else. i use outlook for my work email and thats the one with the mysterious message that apparently cant be found.You can use TweakUI from Microsoft to do these 2 things (as well as a lot of other handy things)

1. Stop the unread mail count appearing on the login screen
2. Repair the wrong unread mail count
