If you don't mind losing private messages (I get ~0 of those), presumably you could add the reddit mail icon to your adblocker or something? For me though, notifications are much more important on reddit than here. Here I can see replies directly on my user page (and replies to them, which I also like to follow), there I'd have to click through to each of my recent comments to check.
