Hello Roke,

Each user can configure their own email preferences via the account settings. There, you can:

• select for which things you want to receive notifications (notification center within OpenProject) -> "Notification settings"

• configure when and for which things you want to receive e-mails. -> "Email reminders"

Precondition: Outbound e-mails must be configured. [1]

You can receive email reminders immediately when someone mentions you and/or set personal reminders for each work package. Furthermore, OpenProject can send you summary emails listing all unread notifications. In the "Email reminders" menu, you can select how often you would like to receive these summary emails. You can trigger them multiple times a day!

This guide explains that briefly:

Thanks. However, even after reading github.com/opf/openproject/blob/HEAD/docs/user-guide/account-settings/README.md#email-reminders, I don't quite understand how one would enable immediate, e-mail notifications for the aforementioned events. Although it explicitly states that it supports immediate notifications, and that e-mail notifications are possible, it appears to solely describe the summarisation/digestion e-mail notification feature – how to allow it to send notifications for actions conducted by members of the relevant project, on others' work items – in any detail.

If this is obvious to you, I wonder why it's not for me. Certainly, GitLab and GitHub's interfaces for this are. 😬︎ At the least, I received a notification for your response via e-mail, so, perhaps, my current configuration works.
