I have my global inbox email set to notify me of unread messages daily.

I just got an email notification message saying

The following items were added to your Stack Exchange global inbox since you last checked it on 2011-11-22:

The problem is, the message it's informing me about was posted yesterday, I read it yesterday (the red "you've got mail" indicator went away), and I've been on Stack Exchange sites several times since I got the message. Plus, it only lists one message, when there's another comment on the very same answer.

I've had this happen before, just a few days ago. In both situation, I'd read the message and cleared out the "new messages" indicator hours before I got the email.

  • well, it's not just restricted to emails - the notifications get sent when I've already read. And then again, some of them don't get delivered at all.

    +1, I've noticed this too. Assumed it's something to do with caching.

  • Are you seeing this behavior anymore? We've made several changes here, shouldn't be an issue any longer...if it is we need to track it down.

  • @NickCraver I think the last time I noticed this happening was March 14.

  • @NickCraver: The last time I saw it happening was the day of my comment (30-03-2012).
