Where are the unread e-mail messages likely to be, when I am getting an alert on my welcome screen?

It's from a friend of mine who has an MSN address. Basically it's like this........

you have 8 unread mail messages

when I click it, it just then says who they're from. In this case, it's from one particular person. Do these unread e-mail messages actually exist? If so, please tell me where I am likely to find them. I have no new messages in my Yahoo! Mailbox. Is there one for Windows Live Messenger which I have?

yeah i too was wondereing .. but later realised

if your friend has created any customer folders in yahoo! mail .. ask him to check in them .. the window bar on the top most will show the indication that there are undread mails, so check them in custom created folders

Could be windows messenger telling you about hotmail messages. It usually shows unread messages in an email client like outlook, thunderbird, eudora etc so check them
