No email notification for new file in favourites folder

[Elvis2000NC]

I do not receive an email when a file is added to my favourites folder. I have marked a folder as "Favourite" and also put a tick in my settings that I would like to receive an email notification when someone puts a file in that folder. However, I do not receive an email no matter what time slot I set. My email account (SMTP) works because I receive test emails. The aim is that I would like to receive an email when new data is placed in this folder, so that I don't always have to check "Activities" to see if something is new in this folder.

Please take a look at #526.

Are you able to send/receive a test email via the button in /settings/admin ?

If yes, do you receive emails by calling sudo -u ${nextcloud-user} php ${wwwroot}/occ activity:send-mails ?

Do you receive emails if you enable "Eine neue Datei oder ein neuer Ordner wurde erstellt"? When calling activity:send-emails manually?

(I'm on 19.x as well and only get emails when enabling the notification for all changed files, and by using the occ job. No notifications for changes in favourites, either (way).)

I think it's the same for us: we don't receive any notification e-mails - except the test-mail which can be triggered in Admin settings. After upgrading from version 18 (?) to 21.0.2 the notification mails stopped working. At least we assume that the upgrade was the "culprit". As there seemed to be a bugfix in changelog of v21.0.4 (Fix "Enable notification emails" (activity#612)), we upgraded to 21.0.4. But things didn't change. There are still no notification emails at all (except the test-mail which can be triggered in Admin settings).

Email (as well as push) for new or deleted files in favorite folders is still not working with Nextcloud HUB 2 (23.0.2), although the activity is correctly listed in the activity app under favorites.

Edit: Now with Nextcloud 23.0.3 the option to get notified when sth. happens with(in) the favorites was removed. :O

@Devs please reenable this option. The activity app is listing the favorite activity correctly. It can't be that hard to put this already gathered information into an email, isn't it?
