Disable The Unread Email Notification In XP

post Posted By: User ImageBioTecK

Windows XP is by default displaying the list of unread email on the windows welcome screen, but for some is this unread email notification irritating (like me!) and they don’t want to display it on the welcome screen. For those who want to disable it, they can use the windows registry editor! Make sure to make a backup before modifying your system Registry! The backup will help you to restore Registry in case any problem occurs after modifying.

Follow the given steps to disable the email notification option: To edit the computer registry, first you should log onto your computer with administrative rights.

  1. Go to Start
  2. Go to Run
  3. Type regedit and hit Enter
  4. Navigate to

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ UnreadMail

  5. Double click on the key MessageExpiryDays and set its value to 0
    IF MessageExpiryDays key doesn’t exist, then in right side panel, click right to create a key with the name MessageExpiryDays and then set its value to 0.
  6. Now close the registry editor and restart your computer after any changes to go into effect.
