Change Unread Mail Settings On Welcome Screen

Postby s. sengupta » Sat Nov 09, 2002 2:59 pm

If you don't want to show unread mail on the Welcome screen, follow these instructions:

Start the Registry Editor
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ UnreadMail
Double-click the value MessageExpiryDays in the right pane, and change the value to 0
Close the registry editor and log off from Windows for the changes to take effect
As you can probably guess from the MessageExpiryDays name of the value, it controls the number of days when new (unread) email will be considered read. So even if a message remains unread in your email program, after the number of days given in MessageExpiryDays have passed, the email won't be counted as unread on the Welcome screen. :D

OK. :shy:
If you don't find "MessageExpiryDays" then there must be Messagecount key with a value like this:-0x00000002(2) in the right pane.Now change this value to 0.
As it controls the number of days when new (unread) email will be considered read. So even if a message remains unread in your email program, after the number of days given in Messagecount have passed, the email won't be counted as unread on the Welcome screen.
