E-Mail notifications arriving in batches up to 48 hours late

This has again become an intermittent problem for me.

I was on FT August 6 and 7, and my e-mail program was on and checking automatically throughout.

This morning, August 8, I found 41 FT notification e-mails in my inbox.

The earliest one is August 6, 7:37 a.m. and there are a total of 10 from the same day.

There are 26 e-mails dated August 7. I checked my e-mail yesterday into the evening until all but the last five would have arrived.

There is one e-mail in my inbox dated August 8. Looking at my New Subscribed Threads, I should have received four more.

This problem has occurred before. I posted about the problem again yesterday in this thread but there hasn't been a response.

The last time this happened a lot of other FTers reported the same experience. It probably goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway ) that delayed notifications of new posts to subscribed threads that arrive up to two days late in a huge clump aren't very useful.

I've experienced similar problems with UA's Easy Updates over the years.

Is anybody in IT checking this out? Thanks in advance.

Edited to add: Several hours later e-mail notifications are arriving more promptly, although not instantly as they have in the past.

FWIW it's almost as if a water faucet is being turned off and then on again.
