Description
When I'm actively chatting with someone in a DM I receive unnecessary notification emails when they send me messages.
Send an email if the first DM is not read/acknowledged in 30s; only send subsequent notifications for that DM channel if they are not acknowledged in 1-2min.
Yes I could turn off email notifications, but I still want them if I'm not engaged in a particular DM channel.

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue; begin by locating the direct-message email notification entry point and its unread or acknowledgement timing logic. Done means the first unacknowledged DM can trigger an email after 30 seconds, while later notifications in the same channel wait 1–2 minutes when the user remains unengaged.
