Windows XP Unread Mail Count

Windows XP Unread Mail Count

Windows XP's logon screen lists the number of unread email messages associated with the user account. The message count is taken from all email accounts checked within the last 3 days using Outlook Express, Outlook, Messenger (Hotmail/MSN), and the MSN browser client. This includes not only your accounts, but those of anyone who used your computer to check their email.

The unread message count is stored in the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail and each account ever checked from this computer in the count is listed as subkeys under this key. Their unread count is only included in the total shown on the logon screen if they were checked within the last 3 days.
