In Android, with the Gmail application, the "Alert every new email" option is configured at the account level so in Android you could configure your important "server outage" account to alert for every new email, and the other less important accounts could be "alert once" (or even just set a silent email alert tone and not be disturbed at all).

The combination of an alert once/always option and configurable ringtone per account would surely cater for everyone.
