Maybe true that a lot of people turn off banners and sounds, but even a badge to show you have x unread messages needs the notifications. Else u have to open the app to check ..

Yes. I do not want apps to be proactive. If I need to check mail, I will do it. If I need to check it regularly, I'll set up a calendar event (OK, once in a while I need notifications), but these should be notifications I personally configure.
