Mails for incoming would obviously happen during tick, recalling is more of an instant thing which we would either have to wait for the next tick or send when the recall happens. In which case it would basically be 1 mail per fleet recalling.
And i'm sure we can all see that somewhere along the line there's someone that's gonna be abusing this, either to annoy the planet(s) or try to load down us 
Really don't want this to turn out like the various notification system for stuff like car alarms/"your car's been stolen" etc... |
I was very well aware of the launch / recall possibility - I do not see that problem, though. With my original suggestion you could simply turn those notifications of. And, as you might see from my reply to Newt, this is not exactly creating load or costing money for PA.

atm if u wanna do well u check the pa as much as possible, find mates that sms u when u get incs.. etc..
this one would make it too easy and silly.. every time i launch i know that the planet is well aware that ive sent attack against it.. u will take away the surprise element here :P

One major point of my idea was to reduce the amount of activity required, and to be able to achieve a little bit without actually knowing other people in this game. Just to make the game more accesible for people.
Also, just because there are extra notifications it still does not mean that your target knows about this. His mobile phone might be switched off, or he simply is not online to check his mails.
