Q: I use WinXP SP2 and Outlook 2003 SP2.
When I have my screen locked and the WinXP boot up screen saying “click on your name to” start right under my name says “3 unread emails.
I have no unread emails! Ive right clicked and clicked each folder “Mark all as read” all about 10x. Restarting the computer does nothing.
Everything otherwise function normally. No problems with Outlook or something else. : Confused: In Outlook itself, there are no unread e-mail indicators next to one of the folders. : Confused:
It been like this for a couple weeks now, the install of the OS / Outlook is only about 3 weeks old!
Any ideas about how the stupid thing clear? * Edit *
Guess what? If you have unread e-mails from three years ago buried in your archive folders, Windows will let you know. : O

Best Answer: Download Microsoft Outlook Connector – it's free – from the Microsoft website.
It's excellent – it handles all my email addresses.

So you don't have MSN Messenger installed? And you have never logged into MSN Messenger and told it you associate your login with you Windows Account?
Nope. I don't have any IM programs loaded. I fixed it already; it was user-error. 
See my OP. Thanks.

Do you have a VoIP system integrated? I've seen some strange effects in our system when voice mails are left or emails are sent to phones and such.
Nope. No VOIP. No modem drivers. No printer (yeah, I know.) No nothing! This is a 3-week old install of everything! The system in general is speedy-speedy and everything runs rock solid.
Obviously, there's a registry setting that's stuck or something.
There's no lost capability or anything like that…it's just annoying to keep seeing it! 
*edit*
Holy crap. I found it. See OP.

Re:Nope. Don't have any other emails. The only emails I get on my home PC are from my domain. There are many different email accounts that Outlook checks, but all are at the same .com.
Re:what about your other email account on hotmail ? Do you have windows messenger setup ?
