Email Taskbar/Dock Unread Badge

Note: I have added a new extension that merges the first 2 together, the Gmail and Outlook unread counts all in one extension. Please view my other extensions or you can find it at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/multi-emailapp-taskbardoc/ipeimmibpbandhbpndfdbjpdodcjdbdo

This extension adds an unread count badge to the taskbar/dock icon of a PWA* Outlook** app. The extension is still in its infancy, so please consider it when rating it.

(Windows) How to install a PWA in Google** Chrome:

1. Navigate to the Outlook** URL, i.e. go to your Outlook** Inbox.
2. Click on the Google Chrome browser settings button, ⋮ .
3. Click on menu option, "More tools".
4. Click on sub-menu option, "Create shortcut..."
5. Name the shortcut, e.g. Outlook**.
6. (NB!) Ensure that you check/tick the checkbox labelled, "Open as window".
7. Once the new Outlook** window opens, remember to pin the PWA to your taskbar to ensure that the extension adds the unread count to the pinned icon on the taskbar.
8. Windows 10 and 11, ensure that the Taskbar setting, "Show badges on taskbar buttons", is toggled on (i.e., enabled) to allow the unread count badge to be shown on the Windows Taskbar.
