Go to Notifications.

Enable the Smart Notifications toggle.

How Smart Notifications Work
You will receive notifications for:
Focus emails (important and personal)

You will not receive notifications for:
Noise emails (low-priority messages)
Smart Notifications help reduce distractions by ensuring you are only notified about relevant emails.
