I have revisited this as after a re-read it seemed a little on the scrappy side. 🙂

From my ‘fresh-eyes’ test I have discovered that:

- Setting the Moderator inbox to ‘Watching’ (and the mod’s PM email user preference to ‘always’) you will immediately get a notification alongside the red Review Queue one, and an email sent out, but only for the **something else** flags. The others will not generate a message in the Moderator’s inbox, so won’t trigger any inbox notifications.

- But if you also set `notify about flags after` to the minimum of 1 hour rather than the default 48 then that will send out a PM to the Moderator inbox, which will trigger a notification and then an email.

  

- There is also the `notify about queued posts after` admin setting, which is only concerned with those posts which require approval.
- And a similar one `pending users reminder delay minutes` for users needing approval

Hopefully that is a little clearer. 🙂
