I am writing as a Jira  administrator team regarding one of our users who has completely stopped receiving JIRA email notifications. The user has been experiencing this issue since rejoining in August. They are not receiving any notifications including:

  • When someone mentions them in tickets
  • When tickets are assigned to them
  • When status changes occur on their assigned tickets

We have performed the following troubleshooting steps:

  1. Verified user's Outlook rules and Junk folder - all clear
  2. Checked user's Outlook blocked senders list - empty
  3. Reviewed user's JIRA profile notification settings - all appears correct
  4. Checked Notification Helper - confirms that the user should receive notifications for JIRA events
  5. Tested outgoing mail functionality - successful (see log below)
  6. Engaged internal IT Support - they confirmed the email configuration is correct

Technical Details: Outgoing mail test log:

DEBUG: getProvider() returning javax.mail.Provider[TRANSPORT,smtps,com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSSLTransport,Oracle]
DEBUG SMTP: useEhlo true, useAuth true
DEBUG SMTP: trying to connect to host "xxx", port xxx, isSSL true
220 email-smtp.amazonaws.com ESMTP SimpleEmailService-d-7PR2KF6OE EDXyC10Y7kdCkOFqhVnw
DEBUG SMTP: connected to host "xxx", port: 465
EHLO ip-10-0-18-170.us-west-2.compute.internal

250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN
250 Ok
DEBUG SMTP: Found extension "8BITMIME", arg ""
DEBUG SMTP: Found extension "AUTH", arg "PLAIN LOGIN"
DEBUG SMTP: Found extension "Ok", arg ""

Additional Information:

  • Issue started when the user rejoined in August
  • Internal IT Support has verified the configuration and directed him to contact JIRA support

Hi @Angel Fernando Vazquez Ruiz ,

Welcome to the Community! If you check Administration-> User Management-> Users  and search for the specific user, does it look as active? Can you try to change the email address for a test?

Hi Carlos,

Yes, the User is active.

I have just completed a test by changing the email address to my own, and I successfully received the test email as a notification event with the message "You've been mentioned in a comment".
