Welcome Screen - getting incorrect "unread mail messages" messages

I use Outlook 2003 as my default email client on Windows XP system. As well all know if your system is locked and you have any unread emails in outlook, it will show the notification on your Welcome Screen. Now in my case, always itsays that I have 3 unread message but when I check there use to be no emails.

Can anyone please tell me why is it showing wrong information? How can I fix it? Thanks.
