Hello, You could do the following:
Setup to two contacts for each person: personA-local personA-remote personA-local goes to their main e-mail address (ours is our exchange mail box). Time frame 24hrs personA-remote goes to their mobilie device (ours goes to our phone). Time frame 7-23 That way in the evening between 23-7 I do not get messages to my phone and when I am awake and check my main e-mail account I see all the notifications that came through.
