I got a new iPhone from work and we use the Outlook app. Is it possible to make a short cut to turn on notifications at 8 am and automatically turn them off at 6 pm? I don’t want to get bothered with emails after my working hours. It wouldn’t let me rest.
 
But this would disable everything. I just want to turn off push notifications from outlook during my off time. I googled a little and will try the downtime feature in the meantime
 
A shortcut to turn off one email account would be interesting. I don’t know if that is possible, but you could use reminders to tell you to manually turn the email off and on. Or perhaps there is some way to tell outlook not to notify you.

Although it would be interesting to figure out a way to do something like this in general for notifications for any particular app, in this particular case it might be simpler to use Do Not Disturb options offered by the Outlook app itself:
