Bug Description
At the moment, every sidebar entry seems to be able to have sidebar badges. This is very distracting and not particularly useful, imo.
Overall, I feel like sidebar badges are a call to action. They alert me that some action needs to be taken inside a folder. For things like "Inbox" and "Drafts" this is very important information. However, for many folders, there is no action to be taken.
For example: Trash, Sent, Starred, and Spam all alert me. While I guess spam is kind of arguable, if I'd trashed something, sent something, or starred something, I think it's safe to assume that no further immediate action needs to be taken. The message has been "sorted" at this point.

Do you mean the icon beside the folder name? Or the number to the right of the folder name?
