Alert when I receive an email from a certain sender in my Gmail account?

Question

I am looking for a Google Chrome extension or Windows 7 program that can trigger a visual, hard-to-miss notification whenever I receive an email from a certain sender (defined by a specific email address) to my Gmail account. Free is better, I don't mind if not open source.

Answer 1

I believe your best bet would be to "tell" your email server who your VIP contacts are in your email settings.

That way those particular emails will receive special treatment and hopefully be noted by you more quickly,
