When an offline user is sent a Connect message, the collaboration.new_offline_message event fires. The system waits the amount of time provided in the collaboration.email_interval property, then triggers the collaboration.notify_offline_user and collaboration.notify_offline_user.group events (depending on if the conversation was peer to peer or a group conversation).The sysevent_email_action record listens for collaboration.notify_offline_user(.group) then builds an email notification containing all the messages from the last collaboration.email_interval minutes that the user has received in that conversation.
