Milan, can you take a look at this one and add a automated test around it please.
Comment 4 Milan Falešník 2017-01-26 13:17:38 UTC 
I have just tested it on 5.7.1.0.

1) I have turned on the Notification role
2) I waited a couple of minutes
3) I tried to use this both from rails console and a method

It worked. It took a couple of minutes between the notification role enablement and the emails sending, but it works.

felix, maybe you forgot something?

Please re-open if we determine a more specific issue as it relates to no emails.

I think it was a problem with the delay in starting the worker, probably. it seems to work now.
