The first e-mail notification lists all activities from the project start up e.g. 17.07. Then new activities will be added which means that if the information, e.g. a1, related to a certain activity has been already sent, the employees will not get e-mails about this activity that lies in the mentioned time gaps.

Note: You can automate an e-mail notification by creating a scheduled task in Start / Control Panel / Administration / Scheduling.
