**Multiple tabs**If SmartMail is open in several tabs in the same browser, it plays the sound only once and shows a single notification for a new email. If you have allowed browser notifications and the dashboard is open in front of you at that moment, the dashboard plays the sound and the desktop notification appears silently. If the dashboard is in the background, the notification comes with its own sound. Because the phone is a separate device, it continues to receive its own notification.
