I'm at work so I can't see the url that ajmas posted, so bear with me if 
it's there.

However, what if we had a drop down with profile names in it "work" 
"home" etc. In the profile is the foo at foo/home and foo at foo/work 
resource, and you can set your priority there as well as 
"low/medium/high/other". Assuming that there's a number that will get 
all messages no matter what, and then one that is relatively high, and 
then the lowest that might help resolve some of the UI issue around this.

Or maybe I should just look at that image when I get home :P
