You can continue delivering messages from certain addresses (ex. from a specific client, or members of your team), addressed to (ex. you can instruct colleagues to email something like name+urgent@example.com, if they need to get ahold of you urgently), from domains (ex. emails from a client you're working on an urgent project with), or with words (ex. urgent!)
