No notifcation rule for email

Post by Rose Ford »

A message rule that prevents notifications, and tray icon updates for a new message, but doesn't mark it as read.

Reason:

I have newsletters I like to archive, and I like to know which ones are new, or rather which I haven't read yet, but I don't want to get notices when they come in through the work day.

This is already possible if you move the newsletters (using mail rules) into a separate mail folder and then choose not to show the number of unread items in the folder settings.

That wouldn't work very well. I wouldn't be able to see the unread count on the folder and I would have to randomly guess when I had new newsletters to read.

Yep, that's the only drawback of such method, at the same time could still be used as a workaround solution while the requested feature isn't there, yet.

+1 This is a useful Idea. I get quite a few emails I would like to not be notified about through the day, but wouldn't what to hide them and risk them being forgotten.

I feel a little weird +1ing this because I'm currently not using EPIM for email due to the security issues with IE and network leaking that haven't been fixed yet, but when they are [and I can move back to EPIM for email from the bat] I would get some use out of this feature.
