Removing junk mail badge

I would like to remove the unread badge identification in my email browser for the junk mail folder.


I've done this request as I have found online and it is still not working.

Still didn't help, but I think found a solution! Since it's a gmail account, I went into my account settings through gmail and then unchecked show in IMAP. Seems to be working so far. I do appreciate your time and willingness to provide different options. Take care Eric and have a great weekend!

Hi, while my message does apply to "badges" it's more of the internal badge within the mail app I want to turn off. I see a notification that I have a message in junk mail, but it wastes my time going to look into that folder on a regular basis. For some reason, the rules will not work within this program. Thanks for your suggestions though.
