I was perusing through the BlackBerry technical knowledgebase and ran across the following - never heard of this feature before, apparently it's new with 10.2.1:

KB35795-How to create a Level 1 Alert for BlackBerry 10 smartphones

---

Overview

With the release of BlackBerry 10 OS version 10.2.1, the BlackBerry 10 smartphones now have the ability to allow users to create rules to engage Level 1 Alert Notifications on the smartphone for incoming emails.

To create a rule to enable a Level 1 Alert Notification:

• Open the BlackBerry Hub.
• Tap on the More button (three vertical dots on the bottom right corner of the screen).
• Tap on Settings.
• Tap on Priority Hub.
• Tap the Add Rule icon on the bottom task bar.
• Enter a unique Filter Name.
  Note: After this rule has been created, the Filter Name cannot be altered without first deleting and then re-creating this rule.
• Select the desired Account for this rule to apply against.
  Note: After this rule has been created, the Account cannot be altered without first deleting and then re-creating this rule.
• Enter one or more of the following criteria to create this rule:
  From: (if desired, enter an email address to create a rule for all emails from this contact).
  Sent to: (if desired, enter an email address to create a rule for all emails to an email address. For example, a distribution list that this user account might be a member of).
  Subject: (if desired, enter a portion of a subject line, like a tag. For example, to filter for emails with [URGENT] in the subject, enter [URGENT]).
  Sent Directly To Me: (enable this if the desire is to only filter if the email was only sent to this user's email address).
  CC: To Me: (enable if the desire is to filter if the email was sent to multiple recipients, and this user's email address is included in the CC field).
  Importance: (select from None, High, or Normal, if the filter is to action on a specific Importance flag in the email).
  Enable Level 1 Alert: (enables this rule as a Level 1 Alert defined in the Notifications section).
• Tap the Create button on the top right to save this rule.

Once a Level 1 Alert filter is created in the Priority Hub, the option to set the Level 1 Notification Audible and Visual settings will be visible.

• From the Home Screen, swipe down from the top frame and Tap on Settings.
• Tap on Notifications.
• Scroll to the bottom of the screen under Customization and tap on Level 1.
• Adjust each setting as required.
• Tap the Back button twice (bottom left corner) to return to the System Settings menu and exit.

I did not write those words, if you look at the link I posted it is copied verbatim from a BlackBerry knowledgebase article.

I read most everything that you post. You have some great information about many different things, I have learned quite a lot. But sometimes things are way above MY knowledgebase!

Someone was asking about this a couple of days ago and I told him it's not possible yet
