Install tweakui ver. 2.00.0.0 fro the microsoft site. go to the part on logon and you can disable it.

Start run regedit and navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail

Double-click MessageExpiryDays set the value to 0, then click OK.

If that key does not exist create it - right click new key UnreadMail then right click the UnreadMail new DWORD MessageExpiryDays - it will automatically be set to 0.

OK that

Logoff and back on again - should be good.

Or get PowerToys which include tweakui here (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp)

Good Luck!

i got to the registry bit u told me about, but i couldnt find message expiry days, all there is is (default) under name and then under type REG_SZ and under data is value not set??

is that the one u mean?

i clicked on each account listed under unread mail but i couldnt see anything called message expiry days under there either

If that key doesn't exist, you have to create it.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
\CurrentVersion

is the place where you create the sub key UnreadMail

here is the Microsoft article about it (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q304148&)
