However, I have not used it personally and don't know if it would do what you desire, but it looked like there was a chance you could control which Mailboxes received Notifications. Your second option would be to try using Herald for Mac. Then you would open Preferences and check that box when you want to view the account.Ĭaveat: it must be a IMAP setup for that option to work. We show you how to enable or disable the email notification box that appears in the Windows Taskbar whenever you receive a new message in Microsoft Outlook. The main option would be to simply open Mail Preferences and select the shared account and deselect 'Enable this Account'. You end up with one main option, if Mail notifications are important on all your other accounts - which it obviously is. Again, if this is an IMAP configuration, this wouldn't be desirable as colleagues may not desire all the mail to disappear into some folder. If it was your account, you could create a folder, and a rule, that would cause all the mail to redirect into, skipping the inbox. As you are aware, the only choice you get is all or nothing.īecause it is a shared account, you are limited in what you can do with the message - unless it is POP3. Unfortunately, this is something that is currently not possible in the standard UI in Mountain Lion/Mail.app or System Preferences.
