Outlook Unread Badge

Outlook Unread Badge puts your unread email count right on the Outlook app icon in your Dock or taskbar — just like a native mail app. Use Outlook Web or Outlook PWA? Install the extension and you'll see at a glance how many messages are waiting, without opening the window. The count appears as an app icon badge and, optionally, in the page title. KEY FEATURES - Unread count on the app icon (Dock / Taskbar) - Optional counter in the page title, e.g. "(2) Mail - ..." - Counts folders from your Favorites — you decide what matters - Smart defaults: Drafts, Deleted, Junk, Sent and Archive are excluded out of the box, in any Outlook language - Custom include/exclude rules per folder - Works with work and school accounts behind Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps (see below) - UI available in 16 languages SUPPORTED DOMAINS - outlook.office.com - outlook.live.com - outlook.cloud.microsoft - outlook.cloud.microsoft.mcas.ms (optional, opt-in) WORK OR SCHOOL ACCOUNT BEHIND A SECURITY PROXY? If your organization routes Outlook through Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps (the address ends with .mcas.ms), enable "Defender for Cloud Apps (MCAS) Support" in the extension settings — or simply click the extension icon while on your Outlook tab and use the one-click prompt.
