Add an unread email count badge to Outlook's pwa icon on supported OS's taskbar's or dock's.
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 keep that in mind when rating the extension.
(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.
Once you have successfully made use of the extension, could you please rate it, and if you have any feedback, it will be appreciated too. As mentioned, this is still in the alpha stage of the extension and may have issues with reflecting an accurate count. If you find any bugs with the count reflected please do share the scenario that may have triggered the incorrect count.
I hope that this small extension helps you in some way, enjoy.
*PWA, progressive web application.
Updates:
2022-07-11 (0.1.6)
- Removed the previous calendar feature from being default enabled. If this feature is wanted, there is a checkbox in the extensions options that will enable it again, "No Badge on calendar pwa: (Experimental)". It is experimental, as it causes the count badge to flash on and off.
2022-07-10 (0.1.5)
- When viewing the "Calendar" in the PWA, the count is cleared for that window icon, i.e. no count badge is shown on the icon. To see the click on "Mail" to view your emails and the badge will display the updated count on the icon again.
