The proliferation of smartphones that act as additional email clients has created a proliferation of pavlovian chimes when a new email arrives at the Inbox or a calendar appointment occurs.

Given that most if not all smartphones support Bluetooth, enable the optional but automated disabling of email & calendar related notifications when one is in proximity of a computer that is already making such occurences known to the user.
