Any way to disable mail.biff badge for specific accounts while still checking them for messages?

I have multiple accounts - some IMAP and others gmail, and I want to be sure all accounts are checked regularly, but I only want the notification badge in Windows to show up for designated accounts rather than all of them. My current and somewhat unsatisfactory solution is to set mail.biff.show_badge to false, but I'd really rather have the badge show up for a couple of the accounts I have.

If this is something that should be an extension I'm game - it's been a hot minute since I wrote a Moz extension (for Firefox, long ago) but if someone were to point me vaguely in the direction of where to poke at I might just give it a go.
