Notifications during “Work Hours”
Allow users to set “work hours” or “work days” during which to receive notifications of new mail or events.
For example, a user could set “work hours” of 7-5pm M-F and would only receive notifications during those times. All mail or events received outside of those hours would result in a notification only when “work hours” resumed.

Would like to see a scheduling feature for notifications (separate from iOS Do Not Disturb). Would help separate work from personal life.

Would like to see a scheduler for notifications. Keep the phone silent outside of office hours.
Helps with the work/home balance. -

Allow for notifications to be automatically turned off outside of your customized work hours

Allowed to set a quite period so email notifications will be silent during 2200-0600 example.

It would be great to have a feature that I can set do not disturb for my email notifications at night for work/life balance.

Yes, makes a lot of sense. Perfect for work-life balance.

I use Outlook strictly for work. I want the notifications when I am at work, but not when I’m at home or “off the clock.” There should be a feature where we can set a start and end time for our notifications for the day.

The ability to set a schedule for notifications by mail account would be very helpful. For example, being able to set a schedule such that work emails only trigger notifications during work hours etc.

It would be great if I could schedule emails and calendar notifications, for example: no notifications on weekends.

Even I’m looking for this feature, as I do not want to get disturbed during off working hours

On the mobile app I enjoy when i get updates but not at 6 am when i get up or at 8 pm when I am home already. A scheduling system for the mobile app would be great.

I use my phone for work and personal. It would be nice to turn off notifications on a schedule.

This is the one feature I would want most, and it would be even nicer if this sort of schedule could be set up on a per-account basis (for those of us who would like to use the app for both work and personal accounts). This is the only reason I don’t currently use Outlook for my personal email, since I would want to leave my personal notifications on while turning off the work account.

Outlook is my work email app. Scheduling notifications would be great.

Will be nice if items moved to schedule folder are supported by notifications.

I would like to be able to schedule notification to only occur during a certain range of hours... I want push notifications for my work email during business hours but I don’t want to have to manually turn them off after work to avoid having work emails pushed to my phone at night. This seems like something we could all use for a little bit more work/life balance.
