I just submitted patch #858925 that implements a first stab at this.
The file notify_sound_patch.txt in the attached ZIP describes the
approach I took to answer Mark's original issues.  It borrows heavily
from Mark's background filtering timer code to implement a "message
batch accumulation" delay timer.

If you think there is sufficient interest in having this feature, then
please try this out and comment on what you do or don't like about the
approach.  It's been working well for the way I use Outlook, but then
that's what I designed it for so others might prefer it to work
differently.  If we decide to add it to the product, I'll put together
an update to SpamBayes Manager to configure it.
