Email, when sloshed at the same time (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meanwhile

'at the same time' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'email when sloshed' is the wordplay.
'sloshed' indicates an anagram.
'email'+'when'='emailwhen'
'emailwhen' with letters rearranged gives 'MEANWHILE'.

(Other definitions for meanwhile that I've seen before include "In the intervening time" , "For the moment" , "In the interim" , "simultaneously" , "in intervening period" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
