For first post, please answer the questions below!

### Describe your issue in detail

I had an issue with pydio cells sending an email notification previously and fixed it following the [instructions](https://forum.pydio.com/t/how-can-i-configure-notifications-sent-by-email/6018/35) given to me, but the solution only fixes sending an email; I am facing another issue now, when the server running Pydio Cells restarts for some reason email notifications won’t sent unless I **restart the cells.service** systemd service. Whenever the server restarts, I run **systemctl restart cells.service** , which ensures that any queued emails and current email notifications are sent.

### What version of Cells are you using?

4.4.15

### What is the server OS? Database name/version? Browser name or mobile device description (if issue appears client-side)?

Fedora Linux 42 (WSL) x86\_64  
Mariadb Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.11.11-MariaDB

### What steps have you taken to resolve this issue already?

I tried removing **`$CELLS_WORKING_DIR/services/pydio.grpc.tasks/fifo-*`** as suggested on the previous issue, but that didn’t resolve the issue.

Hi

The problem seems to be task/job service.  
Do you have any error in scheduler, in the task logs?

Hello @c12simple  
I have checked both scheduler and server logs, and there is no error. I shared a file with a user and waited for a while. Both the User Activity Digest and Flush Mail Queue tasks completed without error, but I still didn’t receive any emails. As I mentioned, this issue persists even after restarting the cells.service, it will be sent.
