a) you cannot separate private from work mail address or better to say: your work address gets misused for private things or some private notion sneaked into a work relationship, therefore you must monitor the work mail account at weekend. They are pushed to your smartphone anyway. Then, you see all these very important messages from the boss or from an employee asking about whatever. If you are tempted to answer, you loose the "relax" portion of the weekend.
b) you don't want to give your colleques or employees the pressure, they have to work at the weekend, just because you write them at the weekend or some late hour at Friday.
Replace "weekend" with vacation or holiday or illness or whatsever. I mean the non-personal "you".
yes i see, some big companies in germany have anounced to "shut down or delay" email during weekends/holidays, too, giving people the chance to relax,
perhaps it work easy this way, user creates sieve rule like
... mails from ... to myuseraddress put in "specialfolder" with add "specialheader" like "unseen til date" ...
where "specialfolder" has no list imap flag ( hidden, maybe a problem yet )
do some global cron all 5 mins test all mails in all "specialfolder" if "unseen til date" at "specialheader" is reached do doveadm move mail Inbox
didnt checked if that might work with current sieve stuff but such mech is server based ( no need for client plugins, new standards etc), sieve rule interfaces for self user addings exist, global rules are able to coexist same way, "holded" sieve mails have a mark in their header for later debug, more filtering can be added
for sure ,other methods are thinkable and working too, but this should work in isp setup with perhaps minimum changes at dovecot and/or sieve, also the external sieve plugin may help too
"specialfolder" may also be a forwarding email adresse on the same server etc ( but this may change headers, which isnt wanted )
for sure this might not solve all "social" problems, only this special "vacation" case
other stuff which is more "mail workflow" related might be solved better with other mechs i.e inventing a imap "hidden" until date flag etc
