whiteout mail creates multiple notifications per mail

[felixhammerl]

that is the current behavior:

• receive one mail, receive one notification
• receive multiple mails, receive one notification with list of subjects

here are the lines responsible for this. https://github.com/whiteout-io/mail-html5/blob/master/src/js/controller/mail-list.js#L390

what do you have in mind?

I was currently seeing multiple notifications if I had multiple mails. I didn't look closely, perhaps the first "single notification" is just not being closed?

[felixhammerl]

yes, that's correct. we do not invalidate notifications as new mails arrive... the idea was to leave the notifications so you can click it at a later point and directly jump to the respective message. once you start digging through your inbox, we discard the "ancient" notifications, since you're obviously already in there.

edit:
oh, i guess i get what you're pointing at. you receive messages in the inbox, and while you already read them in other clients (gmail webinterface), the notification still stays there?

Perhaps we should give the notifications a timeout of 5 seconds until they disappear. Then this shouldn't be so annoying anymore.

Timeout sounds like a worthy experiment. Would better match my
expectations, for sure.

We set the timeout to 5 seconds. This issue should be fixed in the upcoming v0.19.0 release.
