On my doc, the red dot showing e-mails read, located in the bottom right of the mail icon has disappeared. How can I get that back?

I have a MacBook Pro about 5 years, and I just installed El Capitan.

Hello 0622gdwgtr,

I understand that you do not see the Red badge on the Mail Dock icon list of unread mails.

Please check first that the Notifications preferences are set to display the Badge icon in system preferences > Notifications > Mail.

Notifications - Mac Help preferences

Specify when you want not to be disturbed by notifications and set options to control how apps to display notifications and how they are sorted in the Notification Center.

To open the Notifications preferences, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Notifications. Select do not disturb or an application on the left, then view or change its settings on the right.

The badge application icon

Leave the application indicates the number of notifications on its icon in the Dock

Then check how Mail is defined for unread mail.

General Preferences - Help Mail

Dock unread count

Mailboxes to be included in the number of unread messages (the red circle, also called a badge) indicated on the Mail icon in the Dock.

The County appears only if "The Badge application icon" is selected for mail Notifications preferences.

Best regards.
