Description

Expected behaviour

Only send notifications for messages that meet specifications in a user defined filter. Filter options can include Sender name, Sender Address, Subject or Message Body (or any combination thereof).

Actual behaviour

I receive LOTS of email. But only a fraction of the messages I receive require that I deal with them right away.

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by locating the notification delivery and notification-preferences code in the Android app, then determine how sender, address, subject, and body filters should be configured and applied. Done means notifications are sent only for messages matching a user's selected criteria.
