Unread messages

When opening a Windows session, you are often prompted that you have a certain number of unread messages in your inbox (usually found under the user profile).
This message usually, can't be re initialized by Windows or that the number of unread message is false.

To delete this message:

Open base registry

Click on Start Menu/ in the Run Tab type in regedit and press Ok.
Select the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail.



All existing mail accounts should be displayed.

Click to select one of the mail accounts/ select the MessageCount icon in the right hand side table.



In the Windows that appear reset the value to 0 if necessary.

Repeat the same procedure for all the remaining accounts.

If the message counter still persists to operate, just right click on one of your mail account, select the Permissions options and deny the Full Control option and repeat the same procedure for remaining mail account.



If the problem persists:
There is an untested method that consists, of simply deleting the Keys assigned to your mail account, in your registry.

Note that it's important that you make a back up of registry.
