When I start my computer and the user accounts show up on the windows xp
screen, my user account shows an old account has 50 new mail messages. I can
not figure out how it's getting this or how to make it disappear. How can I
remove it? It's not showing in my passport.net screen in my user account
info and when i search the email account i can't find it anywhere on my
computer.
