How to get a "new email" counter/badge to the Evolution app icon on Ubuntu Dock?

Ryan Hendrickson and Milan Crha have worked on this and it is present in Evolution with version 3.29.3+. Thanks a lot!
You may have to install the package evolution-indicator if it is not installed by default, e.g. with Synaptics or in a terminal: sudo apt install evolution-indicator (Thank you Cos64 for the tip).
This new feature was not backported to Ubuntu 18.04 as expected. But Ubuntu 19.04 (and later) comes with updated Evolution (3.32.1-2) and the counter/badge works.

Is there a way to add a "new email" counter/badge to the Evolution app icon on Ubuntu Dock? The Thunderbird icon shows a badge/counter/indicator with the new resp. unread messages.

Cos64 almost 5 yearsDoes this work for you? I have Ubuntu 19.04 with Evolution 3.32.1-2 and I don't get badges. -
Cos64 over 4 yearsI had to install the
evolution-indicatorpackage. Now it works also in my 19.10 (eoan) which is an upgrade from 18.04 LTS (bionic). -
