I am sure SAM is super busy with telling me that I'm in a good area for mining, that I should return to a safe location, that there is an unidentified element in the area and what the current radiation levels are, but he keeps telling me I have new email and I don't. Does SAM get some kind of kick back every time I log onto the mail server? (That's a joke). I love SAM. I do. I wish he was a possible love interest. Still, don't tell me I've got to check my email when I don't. It's annoying.

I prefer EDI. Less Artificial.. More Intelligence...

The new email notification thing is really annoying. I put it right up there with the constant mining zone notifications. The silly part is, if there is something that SAM should tell me.. like I have AVP outstanding, he will often neglect that information in favor of telling me for the third time in 2 minutes that I have email.. when I actually don't. There should at the very least.. be a global timer on how often SAM can repeat the same notification. I'm so sick of hearing 'Pathfinder, you have new email at your terminal' right after I just finished.. CHECKING MY EMAIL!

I have the same problem, it's so annoying!!!!!! Every time I load the game, you have new email... NO, I DON'T!!!! You *!

The last patch caused this, others are saying that when you enter the bridge and meeting/research room he'll say that. Me it's been happening when ever I pass through a door on the tempest. Hopefully the next patch will fix this.

While I'm glad to see it's not just me that's annoyed with SAM telling me I have new email, when clearly I don't ...I think SAM is lonely and hopes that I'll talk to him when I check it in my quarters or mebbe send him some email. Still this notification when I log into the game and I'm by the consoles for R&D/APEX etc is getting really really annoying

It seems to me that this message about new email is trigged by where you walk, like the bridge connecting the front to middle section of the ship.

I haven't tested if it triggers just by the location or if there is an actual link as well to what's in your message box, but I have this feeling that it doesn't actually update the triggers unless you zone for example. So when you arrive at the ship and check your mail and read them, the SAM trigger doesn't get updated until you leave the ship again. So if you walk up and down the ship after checking your mail it'll keep triggering till you've left and come back. It's hard to check because usually by the time you get back you do have new email.

Either way, checking your mail doesn't reset the trigger automatically.

I have the same issue where Sam is constantly telling me I have new emails everytime I return to the tempest.. or kallo is asking to speak with me or even lexi saying she needs to chat in med bay but when I check all they never have anything new to say.. I've finished everything that is not bugged so this is alittle annoying to say the least. Hopefully it's patched or something at some stage in the near future

Part of that is a different bug, greyed out dialogue choices when they do have something different to say. Both of their crew assessments change some over time and with choice of romantic involvement.
