Is there any way to do this?

By setting all of Dockstar's badges to notify me of unread mail in mailboxes which never have unread mail in them, I've stopped any notifications appearing on the dock icon and I can go back to relying on MailUnreadMenu which notifies me discreetly about all my new mail and not just what's in the inbox.

I have mail route messages into folders, so when they are unread, it doesn't show up on the Dock icon. (If this was free,) Great solution for that annoyance. I have been needing this.
