Q:

How can I hide the unread counter from Outlook 2011 Dock icon?

I find the unread counter on Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac distracting. Whenever it's there I feel the need to click on it. How can I hide the unread count?
Mail.app provides an option to disable it, I'm hoping there is a setting in Outlook too.

A:

Deselecting "Badge app icon" in Notifications Center preferences worked for me (Outlook 2016 for Mac).

A:

Previous answer does work now for outlook 2016. Outlook 2016 is present in the Notifications center where the badge can be disabled.

A:

If you are using Mac OS 10.8 Have a look in the notifications menu by clicking the apple button in the top left and then choosing 'System Preferences' and then choose 'Notifications' and you will be able to disable the red badge icon from there.
