> In many chat tools, notification state is not preserved across network reconnection or signout/signin. If you send someone a message, you have no way of knowing if they’re ever going to notice it.
This is no longer true with Slack no? I mean, Slack is smart about when to email you in case you miss reading a post, and it's all perfectly synced between desktop and mobile.
Agreed; HipChat is unfortunately a bit terrible about this. I'll often "lose" a notification from someone when I'm offline: it sends an email, yep, but the chat client itself loses the "unread message" bubble. I have to make sure I check email on every reconnect.
