How to close / remove the “upgrade OSX” notification

Apple does hide the settings for the drafts folder pretty well, but in general you have a choice of saving drafts on the device or on your mail server. It seems you have set them to be on the device. I suggest moving them to the server.

Here's how I get to the setting for my account. Your path might be slightly different as I think it is different for different kinds of servers:

• Settings
• Mail, Contacts, Calendars
• Under "Accounts", click on the mail account to bring up a popup with settings for that account
• Select "Account" again
• Select "Advanced"
• Under "Mailbox Behaviors" select "Drafts Mailbox"
• Under "On the Server" select the "Drafts" mailbox

I like having them on the server as then they are synced everywhere.

I have a solution that I was able to reverse engineer. I've tested it on my machine, running Yosemite 10.10.4 (14E46). If you can find the bundle ID (in the Info.plist file for the app bundle), you can use this script to force the app to appear in the notifications preferences pane.

# "Usernoted" seems to be the "user notifications daemon", so get it's PID.
pid=$(ps aux | grep -i [u]sernoted | awk '{print $2}')

# Find the sqlite3 database that this program has open. It's in a "private" folder (app sandboxing).
db="$(lsof -p $pid | grep com.apple.notificationcenter/db/db\$ | awk '{print $9}')"

# I got the bundleid from Spotify.app/Contents/Info.plist
bundleid="com.spotify.client"

# I use 0 as the flags because you can change all the settings in System Preferences
# 5 seems to be the default for show_count
# Grab the next-highest sort order
sql="INSERT INTO app_info (bundleid, flags, show_count, sort_order) VALUES ( '$bundleid', 0, 5, (SELECT MAX(sort_order) + 1 FROM app_info) );"

# Run the command
sqlite3 "$db" "$sql"

# Restart usernoted to make the changes take effect
killall usernoted

At this point you can open System Preferences -> Notifications, and you will find the app that you just added at the bottom of the list. You can enable / disable badging the icon from this page.
