I don’t think we have a clear reproduction yet.

My understanding is that @JammyDodger is trying to reproduce this issue based on your report, but has so far been unsuccessful.

A few notes:

> Chat channel settings to notify for everything (though I think it does not affect emails).

To clarify, this is not a channel-wide setting, but a user preference _for that channel_. But what you’re showing are the defaults, so I’d suspect that most of the 313 members have it set that way.

Are you sure they were away? If they were on the site, then the notification will not send an email.

> [@Chandra](#):
>
> No emails sent except for 2 members. Both are admins/mods and both used chat before - not sure if that is the differentiator.

OK, that’s pretty strong evidence that _something_ isn’t working as expected here. I would have guessed that more than 2 out of 313 people would be away. Is is possible that they were all on the site at that time?
