This is true, but it's also how any desktop client works. I find it  
extremely annoying to hear my laptop jingling for hours while I'm in  
the next room, until I go there to open the folder with new mails,  
only to jingle again as soon as another mail arrives.
I think people expect - and so do I - to be notified about new  
messages as they arrive.
