Hi Windshadow99,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! You can go to Mail > Preferences > General. From there you can choose, "New message notifications" and choose the mailbox (VIP). Also as noted in the guide below "To be displayed, the alert style must be set to Banners or Alerts for Mail in Notifications preferences. To open Notifications preferences, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Notifications.":

Change General preferences in Mail on Mac

Hope this helps!

Have a great day.

Thank you so much. I thought I had checked all the options in the Mail Preferences... lesson learned as I get older (now in my mid-70s) I need to go for help sooner rather than later. My short-term memory is one area where I can feel myself failing a little bit more every year.

Stay well

Cheers
