Dock unread count not showing (Apple Mail)

Dear Apple Big Sur users:


I have been seeing the unread count within the dock for Apple Mail.


For some reason, this not possible in Big Sur.


Anyone else having this issue? Any solutions?


Cheers!

I found my mistake. My setting in Mail / Preferences / "Dock unread count" was incorrect. I believe I had selected "Inbox Only", and should have selected "All Mailboxes" or my Smart Mailbox named "unread". All is well now.
