Between this and the following should be a filter layer, because
currently evolution-indicator is unusable for everybody who gets lots of
(non-urgent) mail... (or am I missing some settings somewhere?)

The filter layer should also have some simple presets that less
experienced users can turn on or off with a simple checkbox or such
(e.g. ignoring all ML mail or all mails coming from a configurable list
af mail addresses--I'm not sure what people would need most?)
