I often check every time I receive a new email, as indicated by a new email symbol in my Windows tasktray. Often, the email received isn't very important and wasn't worth being bothered about - I'd like to be able to right click on an email, and in just the same way that I can add it to a mail filter, I'd like to change it to a "notification filter". Conceivably, any given email address/domain could be assigned to unimportant = no notification, standard importance = normal notification (normal symbol in task tray), high importance (red-shaded symbol in task tray). Of course, when there are unread email of varying degrees of importance at the same time, the email of highest importance would determine the notification received. One could also choose to have a sound played for high priority email and not for regular email etc.

Actual Results:
