I have been idling for a couple of weeks now, and I would like to know if when you idle overnight, and receive drops, do they build up on the "You have received a new item" page, or do you have to click 'ok' to get more items? If they don't add up, does the time you spent on that new item screen go towards your 10 hrs of weekly idling time?

According to this wiki items are dropped between 30 and 70 minutes. There is a weekly cap of 10 hours, which gets reset on Thursdays as 00:00 GMT.
If there it time left over after the reset,
leftover time will be added to the next week. This is also capped, though. Leftover time can only max the current week to 20 hours.As a side note,
Mann Co. Supply Crates and other usable items drop on a separate timer, meaning that these items do not affect the interval between regular drops.Also relevant information from here:
