Description
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.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the case with a folder marked as Favourite, email notifications enabled, and a new file added, then compare the resulting Activities entry with the missing email. Trace the activity and email-notification paths, using the working SMTP test as a control. Done means a new file in a favourite folder reliably produces the configured email notification.
