Description
Currently it is a bit all or nothing on notifications, at least regarding the mentions. If you have "@-mentions only" enabled, you get personal @-mentions, but also any team, and more importantly also @-all. This is especially an issue in channels you would like to be a part of to be available (like me in marketing) but really are not the person who is relevant for an @-all mention.
It would be nice if there is a 4th setting in the list so it looks like this:
- All messages
- Personal and
@allmentions - Personal
@mentionsonly - Off

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by locating the notification settings that implement “@-mentions only” in the JavaScript client. Trace how personal, team, and @-all mentions are classified, then verify the new option notifies for direct mentions while excluding @-all mentions.
