Hi djksar,
It is possible with a little help from the REST API. You can use the rest custom context object to make a call to the REST API to get the number of new messages for the current user. Then you can use FreeMarker to output the result.
Perhaps something like:
<#if user.registered> <#assign newNoteCount = rest("/users/id/${user.id}/mailbox/notes/inbox/unread/count").value /> Private Messages (${newNoteCount!"0"}) </#if>
I hope this helps!
