Ability to turn off new messages but allow new orders

[iemaline]

I hope to see the availability setting allowing an option to turn off new messages but still allowing gigs to rank and new orders to be placed. Often times I need to catch up on my inbox but if a new client were to buy, and take the time on the order questionnaire, I would be able to still complete that order on time. 

I would find this feature extremely useful and help me to produce more work faster.
