I signed up for RHP yesterday and gave them my Gmail address. After logging in to Gmail and verifying my e-mail address, I started 6 games. I found opponents pretty fast and played them quickly. When I checked my Gmail account, I was shocked to see it bombarded with over 20 mails from Red Hot Pawn Online Chess. I was online and making moves the whole time. At the other chess site I use, GameKnot, I do not recieve e-mail alerts when I am online.
Can I configure RHP's e-mail alerts such that if I have been active in the last 15 minutes and someone makes a move, I do not recieve an e-mail alert? It is just plain annoying. If I am online and someone makes a move, I should know it, so why send me an e-mail? E-mail alerts should only be sent to me if I have not accessed RHP in 15 minutes and/or have logged out.
My Gmail inbox has no trouble handling the storage but I do not want to recieve 20 mails all about the same thing. Just 1 will do. It makes it harder for me to spot important mails. In addition, please suggest to RHP to make the subject lines of their e-mails identical, differenting only in the username of my opponent who moved. This is because of the way Gmail groups mails in conversations - based on their subject.
Thanks for reading.
