Can you change time of daily/weekly digest emails?

[Sheffielder]

My digest emails are going out approx 10pm at night which isn't ideal

Is there anywhere I can change the time they go out?

Yeah mine are going out at 10pm uk time

How about yourself?

The task runs every 5 minutes and sends however many pending digest emails it can, resuming where it left off on the next run. There is no way to control when the emails are sent - it depends on so many factors it would be hard to even approximate it.

Mine keep coming after 10pm which is pretty pointless.

Shame the time of the start of the email run can't be specified

Why is an email at 10PM pointless? Do you not see the email the next day? Lots of services send digest/marketing emails in the middle of the night.

When I get up in a morning I'm faced with a list of emails that have dropped in overnight.

I'll flick through them but won't invest any more time in them than I have to as I start my day.

If I was sat (for example) in the morning and at 10am an email dropped in from a forum I was a member of I'd invest significantly more time and interest in clicking into it, having a nosey round the forum and links I'd been sent.

I'd definitely not be doing that at 10:30pm at night when my email drops in.

I see it drop in then, click it, read it, and forget about it and it's then in my 'read' emails so isn't fresh the next morning anyway.

The ability to send out digest emails for yesterdays activity at 10am for example would be amazing for me and I would be it would be far far more valuable with regards to getting click throughs onto my forums.
