I got a notification email that stated:  The following items were added to your inbox since you last checked it on 2015-04-19:   I know that is not true given that I have been checking it all throughout the year.   Here is the screenshot of  before clicking on the red "2" here:    So I am considering this as a bug, as the expected behavior is that notifications are sent, but not with the incorrect dates as to when I have checked the inbox.  Here are some of the email headers from the message. See the Date field for when this was received:  From: Stack Exchange &lt;do-not-reply@stackexchange.com&gt; To: do-not-reply@stackexchange.com Reply-To: do-not-reply@stackexchange.com Subject: 2 new items in your Stack Exchange inbox Date: Sun, 04 Dec 2016 03:12:49 +0000 Message-ID: &lt;2.615c3af0158722959802@NY-WEB05&gt;   Here is a screenshot of the gmail interface view of the message:

I am subscribed to get my unread inbox items every 3 hours. It's working well, but today I noticed something quite weird:    For sake of future search, adding the text:  The following item was added to your Stack Exchange global inbox since you last checked it on 2015-05-18  But that's just not true, I checked my inbox yesterday. Not 7 months ago. Can it be fixed, or did I miss something? Even going to my  did not &quot;fix&quot; this, got today another email with the same date as yesterday.

Background  Recently  was implemented. With this feature the amount of questions with new activity is shown in parenthesis at the beginning of the page title, e.g.     (2) Meta Stack Overflow   means that MSO has two questions with new activity since the user last viewed it.   this feature is unrelated to inbox updates. Here is an example to illustrate this:    Even though there are two inbox messages in this screenshot this is not reflected by the page title. The page title is currently only sensitive to questions with new activity.  Suggestion  I suggest that the page title also reflects inbox updates. For the screenshot above this would mean that the page title shows that there are two inbox updates and two questions with new activity.  I am not sure what format is best for showing this. For chat * in the page title is used to show that there are messages directed at you which is similar in meaning to inbox updates. However, * if is placed after the number in parenthesis to denote inbox updates there might be confusion as there is no connection between the number in parenthesis and * like in chat. Thus, one might prefer another format such as one of the following (all are meant to reflect the status of the screenshot above):      * (2) Meta Stack Overflow     2* (2) Meta Stack Overflow     [2] (2) Meta Stack Overflow     2i 2q  Meta Stack Overflow     (2/2)  Meta Stack Overflow     (2|2)  Meta Stack Overflow    For the alternatives without an explicit hint of which number refers to what it might be best to place the number for questions with new activity first as it will in most cases be greater. This will to a greater degree avoid combinations such as "(0/2)" which may be confused zero of two.  An advantage of the suggested feature is that if the user has a browser tab with a Stack Exchange site then they will be instantly notified of inbox updates. They do not need to focus a tab with a Stack Exchange site to know if there are inbox updates, they merely have to check the relevant page titles among their tabs.  A disadvantage of the suggested feature is that it might be experienced as verbose. I suggest that it is implemented such that it is as unobtrusive as possible while still being informative. Think of a situation where a user has   one Meta Stack Overflow tab with two inbox updates relating to Meta Stack Overflow and two questions with new activity, and one Super User tab with one inbox updates relating to Super User and three questions with new activity.   Then the sum of the inbox notification in the page titles should be local to sites and not global. The page titles for the tabs above should be something like the following pair:      2i 2q  Meta Stack Overflow     1i 3q  Super User

So, I started getting all my Stack Exchange inbox items duplicated.    It started with this email, and every email since has done the same thing. Not 15 times, but several times.

(Not a dup:  really asks about the DeliveredTo header).  Bugzilla provides a number of headers telling you why you received a mail, such as X-Bugzilla-Reason. How can I filter on arbitrary tags such as this one in Gmail?

I went to check some of my queries against UNIX &amp; Linux this morning and noticed that the results all had dates older than a week. Going to   query, I see that U&amp;L is among the sites whose most recent posts/comments are 2020-04-19 instead of 2020-04-26, as expected. Partial results of incompletely-refreshed sites are:  ...

Sorting by date doesn't make it obvious to me where the refresh died/stopped, but hopefully this post alerts the correct people.

In Gmail, the inbox view only contains mail which has not been archived. I'm looking for a particular conversation I had with someone a while ago to find a quote, but I can't remember the exact topic or person I was emailing. I know it has been archived but I cannot find a way of viewing only archived email—it appears I have to browse through many months of All Mail in order to find that particular conversation.  Is there a more effective way of viewing only archived mail?

I posted a comment on an answer, and refreshed the page.  I then noticed that someone else had also posted a comment.  His comment had an earlier timestamp, but was below mine.    What happened?  (I'm using the Android app, if that matters.)

As of yesterday, I've started receiving emails for a subscription that do not match my filter.  My filter:  (shows items with tags  or  across all StackExchange sites)  Time of first email: 14 March 2017 at 10:22 UTC  Subject of first email: New questions in Smalltalk Filter filter for Mar 14 - Stack Exchange  Items in first email:        These are in no way related to my filter (tags include  and ). I've also checked that none of the tags have a synonym that would explain the issue.  There do not seem to be existing recent questions relating to my topic (the closed one I saw was about  from a while ago). I thought the first email was a one-off mistake, until I received another email with three more items that don't match that filter today so I thought I'd better report it.  The filter has been working for months if not years - please fix subscription emails, and let me know if any further information or forwarding the emails to someone would be helpful in debugging.

I've set up a custom notification on a particular Gmail label (call it [special]).   However, when an email with the [special] tag arrives, I get a notification for both the [inbox] and [special].  The audio notification plays the first half-second or so of the mailbox notification, and then switches to the [special] notification. In the notification bar, I get two Gmail icons, both with the same message when I slide the notifications open.  Without removing the [inbox] label from these messages, is there a way to eliminate the duplicate notifications?  I'm on 4.0.4.

I like how my inbox icon lights up in green when I have new messages or new games from friends; but I'm not interested in trading cards, and it annoys me when after each gaming session I get a bunch and the inbox lights up.  Is there a way I can prevent the inbox alert from appearing for new trading cards?

What is the new Inbox icon () supposed to represent?  It reminds me of cardboard 3d glasses or oculus rift or even a upside down ( old )telephone. Is it supposed to be a basket of sorts?

I'm using Google calendar, and I subscribe to my Google Calendar from multiple computers.  Whenever I set an event with (an) email reminder(s) on Google calendar, I'll get multiple emails because (1) Google calendar itself sends me the email reminder and (2) each computer that subscribes the calendar tries to send the email reminder (when the computer wakes up).  It's very annoying.

Well today as I was going home I got a strange email, in my private inbox (email associated with S.O.) asking me if I had solved a question on S.O. that I didn't ask. To be more precise I had given an answer.   After reading:       and several other email related issues on S.O. I decided to let you all know about this because probably I am not the only one.   So the mail subject was:     Re: Deleted facebook account - Cannot access my apps?   which refers to   And the body (masked last name of sender):      Hi Jimmy,      Just wondering if you ever got this question answered.  If not, maybe   a brief chat with a html wizpert could help: link   .      Good luck getting this resolved!      Cheers,      Michael      ------------------------- Michael W%^%^GF Founder, CEO @ Wizpert   Now I know that my email address is not visible and I read about the MD5 regarding gravatar but I don't think this is the case. I thought about some methods and sure it's possible via metadata, github, etc for someone to get my mail, but I do not dare to think that this has reached an automated level, so that some service could easily get the email of S.O. members.   I didn't get annoyed by the message, since the CEO took the time to contact me :-p but someone else could get annoyed by these kinds of messages, since they come in the important inbox of gmail.   What is more strange is that Wizpert seems to be a nice site and also is active in the Careers 2.0 if I am not mistaken.   Another thing that crossed my mind is that since Wizpert needs unanswered questions to promote their services, possibly this is an action of Wizpert trying to attract people into their services.   Well that's it, I hope I did good to let you know (maybe I did't include the correct tags).

The new moderator inbox shows mod messages sent by all of our site's moderators... except myself.  On looking at the list today, it seemed that several messages were missing. I know that mod messages were sent after November 22, since I sent several of them (being almost the only mod around during the holidays).    And indeed, on manually checking, I found that all the messages I thought were missing were those I sent.  Is it intentional that I don't see mod messages I sent, and is there a better way for me to go find my own mod messages again if necessary?

How can I know where an email really originated from? Is there any way to find it out?     I have heard about email headers, but I don't know where can I see email headers, for example in Gmail. Any help?

I have an annoying problem in Outlook 2013. My inbox is flagged with "1" unread message, but this is not the case. Even when I empty my inbox folder, this bold "1" stays next to my folder, new as it contains a new message.  I've tried to "empty" it, to "clean" it, to "mark all as read" it. Nothing works.  Any tips?

Do you have experience implementing text inputs or drop-downs in-line with other text or forms? Is this approach any better than just creating a separate field/label?  In the example below the user has the option to indicate when to be reminded again (in one, two, or three days). When they are reminded of an assignment, they simply get an email or text message.
