Many presence systems allow the user to set their status as "offline"
(even though they're not really offline): the presence status is aimed
at other humans and gives the user's interruptability. That may not be
appropriate for a server to use when determining whether to send new
mail notifications.



True, but equally, most presence mechanisms have the concept of appearing offline by default, but allowing a directed presence to indicate they're online to certain endpoints. In general, I think this would be good enough - you'd simply have the client appear offline, but send a directed presence for the notification server.
