Stop sound alert for every email

I want to stop getting a notification sound and/or vibration for every new email. In some periods of the day I get emails every couple of minutes and it's getting absurd hearing a sound or buzz for those. Preferably I'd want the behavior of SfOS 1 where one got a sound and/or vibration when first new unread email was received. I don't want to have to make an ambiance to silence email notifications altogether.

A configuration setting would be the best, but I want the default to change because it's driving me insane.

I don't want to have to make an ambiance to silence email notifications altogether.altogether. It's not possible to make an ambiance control the vibration, thus it will always vibrate and/or make a sound (since I want vibration if silent) for new e-mails.

A configuration setting would be the best, but I want the default to change because it's driving me insane.

Edit: it applies to nights as well. One can configure a peak interval, but since that setting is really granular it's not possible to set different times for weekdays or weekends, and one has to set it to "never" update during night (off peak) if you don't want any notifications at all, but "off peak" time is depending on day.

And, no, I can't shut off the phone, since some nights I'm on call. Currently my only options as far as I know, if I want a good night's sleep, are to downgrade to 1.x or get another phone.
