I have 3 users on my home pc, at the users log in screen
(welcome screen) the system is telling me i have an
email, when i look for it the messages are not there. I
have cleared all my inbox's but still the message is
there saying i have one.

Be careful of registry hacks, be sure to export the registry on the file
menu so you have a copy.

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.
