One tool that can be used to rest the Unread Mail count in Windows XP is TweakUI. Sometimes the number gets out of sync and shows numbers that don’t really match your Inbox. Resetting it using TweakUI can fix it.

hi is there a way to make it ignore certain email accounts? so it will only count emails from a selected few email accounts?

Thanks! I really wanted to get rid of this message since even though I have a hotmail e-mail, I use g-mail, and the only e-mails I get for hotmail are spam.

“Now navigate to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail

Note that you will not see this key if you are in a domain environment, so it won’t be there on office or corporate computers most likely.”

How can I get the undread messages from a registry key in a domain environment??

I’m using XP Pro. I had to go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead of local machine.

I have been thinking of this issue for years, and just could not get rid of email count (I think the feature is stupid because it doesn’t report a right count) thanks for the information. appreciated it

DoneThat2: If you type ‘control userpasswords2′ in Start/Run, it will show you who has what privileges. You can also on a program and select ‘Run as…’. Only accounts that have admin will show up as defaults.
