Problem WordPress StackExchange Email Notifications

Question

I seem to receive email notifications from this forum a day or more late. Is this a problem with the StackExchange system, or is there a setting in my profile somewhere that sets a delay for email notifications?

Thanks, Dave

Answer 1

I vaguely remember reading this is intentional for some reason. Stack Exchange sites are not really same as generic forums, they do a lot of things at their own pace and with own reasoning.

Also question related to site itself should be asked on Meta.

Answer 2

This is intentional and will not be changed.

Answer 3

yes it would be nice and helpful also if the email notifications can send to users immediately after an answer/comment made in a question, also a nice feature option is to select or not if you want to receive email notifications about new questions.

thanks a lot, Philip
