It would be nice if GroupWise could queue up items and NOT deliver them until a user's schedule said it was OK to do so. Think of "delayed delivery" - but instead of being controlled by the sender, it's controlled by the recipient.

Some people don't need (or want) to know about an incoming email until they are ready for work. The recent French law that gives a worker a "right to disconnect" is similar. A new entrant to email / collaboration advertises a feature like this. If I have an employee getting paid hourly, but his smart phone tells him he has an email from my boss (because my boss might be a workaholic), I may not want my hourly employee logging in to WebAccess and incurring overtime pay.

So, I would like to be able to define another calendar schedule, just like the Work Schedule, which (if enabled) prevents email from showing up in my mailbox until the next scheduled availability window arrives.

When my workaholic boss checks his 11:00 PM Friday Sent Item, I'd like the properties page to show "Queued for delivery" (or perhaps "Queued for delivery until 8:00 AM Monday").
