How do I reinstate notification of number of new emails in my taskbar icon

Previously whenever I received emails in TB, my taskbar TB icon would show the number in red. I must have inadvertently hit a combo of keys that eliminated this number. Can anyone tell me how to reinstate this number?

Thanks in advance, 4freebird
