Really?  In the IMP display, it keeps refreshing even after the popup alert.
I just keep getting a pile of alerts if I go away and leave it running...
Is it different in the Folders view?

I note that once I launch the compose popup, then the updates seem to 
stop until I finish the compose...  Kind of like what you describe...
 
I'm just a slight bit confused by it all really...

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
