Apple Mail not showing unread count in Dock

I have a new Macbook and Apple mail is not showing the unread messages count in the Mail icon in the dock. I think I have notification settings configured correctly and I have Mail's "Dock unread count" set to "All mailboxes" (tried "Inbox Only" but that doesn't show counts either). Suggestions?

I can tell the dock was reset because I lost all my "keep in dock" items - which would have been worth it if it had fixed the problem but it didn't. I also tried rebooting in case there was something that was not getting loaded from the start up. Still no unread messages indicator for Mail - even though it works for other apps like Messages and Slack.
