Description

We do not receive E-Mail notifications for certain projects.

What I can do is sending E-Mail notifications via admin - config - sending testing email
I receive notifications in the bell icon.

I also have a Gitea Server for testing and newly created organisations / projects do not send notifications either.

However, I used to receive emails from "older" Projects that we migrated at the beginning of using gitea. At some point we disabled AUTO_WATCH_NEW_REPOS to make the people opt in for notifications.
(my test installation has this not disabled tho)

Now comes the weird thing, while testing today I unfollowed and followed an organisation where I got emails from and now I do not receive any email notifications at all. Even from the projects that are not in that particular organisation I unfollowed / followed.

Relevant configuration options:
AUTO_WATCH_NEW_REPOS = false
ENABLE_NOTIFY_MAIL = true

[mailer]
ENABLED = true
FROM = REDACTED
PROTOCOL = smtp+starttls
SMTP_ADDR = REDACTED
SMTP_PORT = 25

Gitea Version

1.24.6

Goto admin panel, to see whether the email queue is stuck

Similar behavior here, no emails in the queue. When is Gitea supposed to send an email? The only emails that I ever got from Gitea is the admin test email and the recover password email.

When I mention an user (or myself) I don't get an email, and no email is in the queue. Are there some logs we can verify when an email is supposed to be sent?
