Galaxy s6 email priority senders - sound notification

Question

I setup my priority email senders in my new Galaxy s6 (email settings/notifications/priority senders on & notifications on).  But I think it works differently from my old s3.  On the s3 I would get a notification sound whenever I received an email from a priority sender.

In the s6, I get a sound notification, but it seems to be whenever my priority sender is on the email string at all.  I only want to receive it if they sent a message (or replied).

(Also, I would like to just get priority sender notifications only, but you have to turn on ALL notifications to get the priority sender.)

Anyone else tried this on the s6?

After you set up your Priority Senders, these senders email addresses also have to be in your contact list as well. And you have to select a message tone for the contact as well. That seems like that's the only way. It works perfectly now. Took forever to figure this out.
