Re: XP Logon - New email notification

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

So how does Windows know which of these accounts to show me on the login
screen?

The advice at:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304148/en-us
shows an example where the logon screen is showing that a user has 3 unread
messages:

UserID@xxxxxxx (2)
UserID@xxxxxxxxxxx (1)

....so it would suggest that it can be done, it just appears to be broken.

No, not in the same User Account.

Hi,

Unlike all of the other posts in the forum on this topic, I actually like
the unread email notification and want to keep it. It seems to be working
for me, except...

I have 4 accounts in Thunderbird (this *is* a supported client)
me@xxxxxxxxxxxx
me@xxxxxxxxxxxx
me@xxxxxxxxxxxx
me@xxxxxxxxxxxx

However, the only new mail that is being shown is for me@xxxxxxxxxxxx

My wife also uses the same machine and the same email program
(Thunderbird), but she has a seperate account. She only has 1 email
account and her number of unread emails shows up fine.

Is there any way I can get my other 3 accounts to show, too? I've tried
TweakUI (repait unread email count) and also manually editing the
registry. Interestingly, editing the registry works, but doesn't update
the unread count for the other 3 accounts.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks
Matt
