Previous behavior:
If I have x new messages when I log in, I have time to incorporate
these before I receive the zephyrgrams telling me I have new mail.
(Unless, I think, I walk away for a significantly long time, in which
case I get a zgram for each new message.)
Current behavior:
Before I finish my login procedure, I am receiving zgrams for the last
few messages. Today I had 8 messages when I logged in; I got zgrams
for the most recent 3. Yesterday it was the most recent 4. Thinking
it may have something to do with when the mail was sent, I looked at
the dates today. 2 of the 3 were mailed today, 1 was mailed
yesterday, along with the other 5 new messages.
What should happen:
Same as previous behavior. I don't know what the determining factor
is, but there are potentially a lot of zgrams to click away. I always
inc mail when I log in, therefore only desire to get messages when
mail comes when I'm logged in already.
Thanks,
Sharon Belville
