Basically at the log-on screen I get a message telling me that I have xxx unread emails and x programs running. However, it lists 5 email addys, only 2 of which are mine.. I do recognise the others and they would appear to belong to people who have checked emails on this machine before.

So my question is; how do I get rid of it/stop it from happening, and why does it happen?, it's odd because one of the email addys is my talk.21 addy, (the others are all hotmail) and I initially thought it might have been something to do with passports etc, but talk21.com have no association with Microsoft afaik.

I have XP SP2, and I do not use outlook (web based email only).
 
either download a tool or edit the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\­Software\­Microsoft\­Windows\­CurrentVersion\­UnreadMail key.
 
Righto, I shall look into that. TY. Any clue why that happens? (and indeed how it monitors unread emails for web based talk21).
