Description
With Android 5 and newer, is an option for sound control that prioritizes certain events over others, effectively filtering out unimportant events and only providing audible notifications for important events.
Configuration of this feature is available under system settings --> sounds --> do not disturb --> priority only allows.
It would be nice to be able to hook into this functionality with k9mail, so that audible notifications are available for priority contacts as per these settings. Options being from anyone, contacts, starred contacts, none.
In addition, it could be useful to be able to set specific accounts as priority accounts. For instance, setting your personal account to priority could allow your personal email to notify you all of the time, while filtering out work email when you're not at work.

Start by identifying how Android 5+ notification sound controls relate to K-9 Mail notifications, then determine how priority contacts and priority accounts should map to the listed system options; done means audible notifications follow those settings.
