I'm sorry, but it's ask now and not question.

@raccube @pixeldesu what do you think, should the mails be sent immediately after creation or after like 10min?

hey, any updates on this? i'm really interested in using this service, but it's honestly pretty annoying having to go out of my way to log in and check my inbox every so often. email notifications would be really useful here :)

Hi, I worked on this a bit back in March, there's a branch with a WIP commit. Didn't find the time to continue working on that yet though, sorry for that.

I still think email notifications are useful too. I'm still not sure when to send out these notifications though, as I don't want them to become too noisy. Perhaps a daily digest mail of new questions is already enough?

personally, i'd like to have immediate notifications. but i can def see that getting out of hand for any particularly busy inboxes.

maybe there could be immediate notifications for the first 3 or so questions, and if there are any more unanswered questions after that point, notifications could be cut down to once per day?
