I intentionally disabled all notifications from Thunderbird to follow the "I rule my time" instead of "Thunderbird screams at me at every new spam"

But new version has this big red number on tray that is doing same thing - drawing my attention to something I do not want intention at every time I look in task bar.

How to disable this thing ? I tried searching for various phrases in settings editor and there is nothing here.
