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. Commented Nov 23, 2011 at 5:37

    +1, I've noticed this too. Assumed it's something to do with caching. Commented Nov 23, 2011 at 10:32

  • 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. Commented Mar 31, 2012 at 10:21
  • @NickCraver I think the last time I noticed this happening was March 14. Commented Apr 1, 2012 at 4:43
