Away mode among different inboxes

Our support center has historically assigned people to solely work on chats or emails within a shift.  Due to high volume of live messenger chats, an agent may be helping 4 people at once.  

Currently we are struggling to figure out how to assign people a round robin assignment in Chat only.  It seems if they select they are “available” to take live messenger chats, it will also assign them to answer emails and vice versa.

I propose a feature be added where a person can be “available” for assignment in the messenger inbox but not “available” for round robin assignment in the email inbox.  A chatter should not have to worry about emails also getting assigned to them at the same time, because they’ll never get to it. 

Make each inbox have availability options so a person does not have to get added and removed from every inbox, every day.

This would be a game-changer for our CX team. We run into major bottlenecks when an agent is assigned to multiple inboxes, as we cannot go active or away from specific inboxes.

I split this by Teaminbox so live or chat volume goes to one inbox and email to another 
We then change the agents inbox assignment priority to reflect what inbox they should work from that day
