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