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.

Working on a different continent from HQ, I love this idea. At least disable push notifications outside work hours that are configurable, considering I’m in bed by the time high noon at HQ hits.

It would be great if we could set notifications at the app level to not come through outside of work hours (what I have this app for). That way, I don’t feel obligated to answer to get rid of the notification bubble and can more easily leave my notifications for work time only.

Enable for notifications to only to be displayed between a predefined hour range. E.g. work mails will only show notifications between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m.

I'd like to be able to select days of the week AND certain hours of the day to receive notifications from Outlook iOS application. Use case: from 5pm - 10pm Mon-Fri and 8am - 10pm on Sat & Sun, I'd like to schedule Outlook iOS to notify me when I receive a new email.
But when I'm sitting at my laptop during the workday, I don't need to my iPhone buzzing when new email is received, as an looking at Outlook on my laptop.

I think an option in settings should be available so that Notification can’t happen between certain times . I get some at 4 am which will wake me up , because my phone is charging on my end stand. Most nights I go into the settings and turn off Notifications before I go to bed but some nights I forget to. It would be nice to set a time period that notifications won’t happen. I would set it at 9pm to 7am .

My colleagues have a tendency to send low-priority emails at all hours of the night (whenever something pops in their heads that they don’t want to forget to ask me about). It would be great to not have my personal time constantly interrupted.

An option to set a time when push notifications automatically show or don’t show. I want to be able to see what emails have arrived while I’m on the go at work but also want to be able to switch off from it outside of work hours.

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. -

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.
