Download this utility . . . . >> TweakUI << . . . .

Once installed, scroll to Repair > In the drop down menu select 'Repair unread mail count' > Repair Now > Apply/OK

Hope this helps.

Alternatively, when you've got Tweak UI, click on the + by 'Logon', then on 'Unread Mail' and untick 'Show unread mail on Welcome screen'. Apply and OK it. You can set this there to apply to all users on your PC or just yourself. Choose the 2nd option if you're the only user.
