Description
I just disabled the email notification feature since it happens quite often that a RocketChat new message notification pops up and right the next second I also get an email about it.
Important email started to drown in the middle of all these notifications -- and if I just wrote filters to put them away, they would serve no purpose, so better to not receive them in the first place.
IMHO these email notifications could have a delay, like if the message goes unread for 1, 5, 10 or n minutes, THEN send out that email. That would greatly reduce the amount of emails sent, making them more relevant!
