unread e-mail messages

[Prefontaine]

XP keeps giving me a message on the log-in screen that I have two unread messages- but I don't and I can't get the annoying message to go away. Any ideasText

I you entered in a hotmail / passport account, that's what it'll keep checking. Otherwise, not sure what to tell you.

I have a similar problem, though it seems to occur rarely. Once in a while, when I log out just after reading my mail, I get that same "2 (or 3, 4) unread messages" at the login screen. It's definitely not a hotmail thing, since I don't have a hotmail address or use passport or any of that crap. I'm wondering if the choice of mail client has something to do with it. I use Netscape mail even though I browse with IE6. Now I know that something's not right there because I can't click through "mail to:" links. I know that can be fixed, but I've just never bothered to do it. Might be part of the problem, though...
