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.

Maybe, changing the download interval for Mail.app helps? – gentmatt Feb 10 '12 at 18:39

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.

Check out the link below for more info.

There is no Outlook in the Notification center? – Buscar 웃 May 7 at 11:05
