It's quite obvious for anybody who needed to concentrate on something
and was disturbed by an email and afterward couldn't get into the work
anymore, but here's a study that shows - using a simple task, the Tower

(My) Conclusion: make the notification as unintrusive as possible, and
disable it per default.
