Enable 'VIP' alerts for email messages
There’s little chance you’ll get through an important meeting without glancing at your iPhone or Android phone if your screen is constantly flashing with alerts for new email messages. Follow these steps to ease your email notification overload.Ben Patterson / IDG
Tap the little "i" next to iOS's VIP mailbox to start adding very important people to your list.
For iOS:
Mail’s 'VIP' alerts give you separate notifications for your most important email contacts, perfect for leaving you alone unless a message from a close friend or someone in upper management lands in your inbox.
How Technology Can Help the Blind Set Their Own Expectations
A growing number of innovations designed to be accessible to the blind and visually impaired are enabling new connections.
Open the Mail app, back up to the main Mailboxes screen, tap the little 'i' next to the VIP mailbox, then tap Add VIP to add a contact to your VIP list.
Once you’ve added some names to the list, tap VIP Alerts to manage your VIP notifications. You could, for example, give messages from VIPs a special ringtone or a custom vibration when they arrive in your inbox, or allow VIP alerts—and only VIP alerts—to light up your lock screen.
Android doesn't have its own version of iOS's handy VIP feature, but you can replicate it using filters in Gmail. Click here for the trick.
Turn on alerts for Gmail’s Priority Inbox—and off for all your other inboxes (Android only)
If you're not interested in hacking iOS's VIP alerts into your Android phone, you can take advantage of Gmail's secret formula for determining which messages are most important to you.
Gmail’s Priority Inbox sifts through your incoming messages finds the email that you’re most likely to want to answer.
Using your prior emailing habits as a guide, Gmail’s Priority Inbox sifts through your incoming messages, finds the email that you’re most likely to answer, and puts them into an “Important and unread” folder. Everything else (such as random email promos, newsletters, and other lower-priority messages) goes into the aptly-named “everything else” section of your inbox.
Once that’s done, you can set the Android version of Gmail to alert you only when new messages land in your Priority Inbox—and hopefully, you’ll feel better about leaving your silenced phone alone.
First, you’ll need to enable Gmail’s Priority Inbox feature. Open Gmail, tap the menu button in the top-left corner of the screen, tap Settings, pick a Gmail account, then tap Inbox type > Priority Inbox.
Tap Manage labels, then make sure that Priority Inbox is the only Gmail label with notifications turned on. (If you don’t see a Sound on, Notify once or similar tag next to a label, then notifications are off for that label.)

Or, here's another option: Tap Settings > Sound > Do not disturb > Block visual disturbances, then enable the Block when screen is off setting. Doing so will keep alerts blocked by Do Not Disturb from lighting up your phone's lock screen.
You can completely turn off notifications for a specific app by tapping Settings > Notifications. Tap an app, then enable the Block all setting. You can also choose to show an app's alerts silently—but remember, even silent notifications can be tempting.
Another way to disable an app's alerts is by long-pressing its notification when it appears. When you do, you'll get the chance to block its alerts or show them silently.
