Description

I have read this: http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/FAQ#Email-notifications-are-not-working and test e-mail is being sent properly.
Notification is also sent when I add a new issue but not when I add a news.
Of course I have set the option "News added" in "Administration -> Settings -> Email notifications"

kind regards

History

Updated by Kamil . almost 2 years ago

I have noticed that:
When an user has set the property "Email notifications" in his/her account to:
"For any event on all my projects" 

The notification e-mail about news is sent but when the property is set to
"Only for things I watch or I'm involved in" 

User does not receive e-mails about news.
I think that it is a huge disproportion between receiving e-mails about ALL events and only events about tasks that are assigned to the particular user.
What about "send me info about things i watch, I'm involved in" and separate choice of sending info about:
  • news
  • new forum messages
  • wiki edits
    ?

What do you think?

Kind regards

Good to have better control over e-mail notifications.

+1. Definitely would like the ability to have watch-list feature for news updates similar to issue tracker.

It's really annoying, since there's no way to watch news.

So, to receive news by email you need to receive email for everything in the project, and it makes no sense at all.

We need to notify all project members by default, and possibly have a separated option on notification config page.

There's a suggestion of how to do that here:

Sorry for double post, but there's also a discussion on #2549 about this.

As a temp workaround I've set up an isolated issue named "ANNOUNCEMENTS"

  • add watchers to this issue
  • when ever you need to announce, add a note to this issue with a link to a news item , wiki change etc...

At least I can control who gets announcements for the time being.

I think that "Only for things I watch or I'm involved in" should include news. The news can be shown at My page, but I rarely see that page. It's the same with the Overview page for each project - it's rarely that anybody see that page.
