I figured out. I hope this will benefit others.

if [ ${trackErrors} -gt 0 -o ${count} -eq 0 ]
then
MailErrors ${count}
else
MailSuccess ${count}
fi

You can change your original structure as well by doubling the brackets:
Code:
if [[ ${trackErrors} -gt 0  || ${count} -eq 0 ]]
then
  MailErrors ${count}
else
  MailSuccess ${count}
fi
