Hi sqpgrndpnd,

For help with viewing the unread message count in the dock, check your settings with the information below found in the guide here: Change General settings in Mail on Mac

"Dock unread count

Choose which mailboxes to include in the count of unread messages (the red circle, called a badge, that’s shown on the Mail icon in the Dock).

The count appears only if “Badge app icon” is selected for Mail in Notifications settings. To open Notifications settings, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Notifications in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)"

You can also view information for changing additional settings here: Change Viewing settings in Mail on Mac

Cheers.
