Description

With the current state of affairs, I can't use the "Quiet Time" function because I have both an "emergency notification" account, which I want to wake me up if it goes off, and a regular work contact account, which I could really do without bleeping at me at 4am.

Is there any possibility or intention of making this function available on a per-account basis? Right now, I'm only able to use K9 for the normal work account since I can't seem to find another app with a similar functionality.

I'd much rather go back to using it for all of them.

Research direction

Start at the existing Quiet Time settings and notification-scheduling entry points, then trace how account identity is available when notifications are filtered. Define the per-account setting so work notifications can be silenced while the emergency account remains audible, and add coverage for both account types.
