Hello,

Here's a basic question. When I boot WinXP and get to the screen with a
list of accounts to log on, I see "### unread mail messages" by one of them.
Where can I find what e-mail account this is tied to?

Thanks - Dave

The Welcome screen is displayed by default on Windows XP Home Edition-based
computers and on Windows XP Professional-based computers that are not
members of a domain. Under your name on the Welcome screen, there is a
hyperlink that indicates the number of unread e-mail messages. If you click
this link, it reveals which account the messages are from, and how many each
e-mail provider contains. For example, if you have three unread e-mail
messages, and you click the hyperlink under your name, you see the following
information (where UserID is your user name for the corresponding e-mail
account):
UserID@msn.com (2)
UserID@hotmail.com (1)
The hyperlink is displayed only if you have an e-mail client that is capable
of updating the Welcome screen running on your computer. Currently, there
are only two programs that support this feature: Microsoft Outlook Express
and Microsoft Windows Messenger.
