[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1791059, member: 175845"] I'd say resurrecting Mail.app email would be the easiest solution and stop all non-wife notifications, but setup a rule for any from her to play a loud custom sound, and/or maybe even flash the display. The rule could even be set to only work when certain text is included to trigger the rule. The Rule setup even allows new custom sounds to be used, and something better than "Beep" or some feeble default sound would be best. Lots out there on the web… even possibly something of a screaming banshee, just to get one's attention of course. No implication intended of course!!! PS: Lots right here that should certainly get one's attention and maybe create a mess somewhere personal if one was busy writing… ;-( [url]https://www.pond5.com/sound-effects/1/banshee.html[/url] And this still works: Mac tip: How to pick a new alert sound, or install your own [url]https://heresthethingblog.com/2013/11/19/mac-tip-pick-alert-sound-install/[/url] And typical source etc: [url]http://soundbible.com[/url] - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
