Hi,

I am using Drupal 5.10 with this module. I found out this morning that users do not get email by this module while they change their email address.

I tried to test it with my admin and regular user account, yet I didn't get any email. I believe emails systems in my installation are working fine, as user still can get email while they register, request new password or even email from other module (i.e. Account reminder 5.x-1.0).

Has anyone experience the situation like this? Or does anyone can give me idea what I must do?

Thank you in advance.

Lucky I. Ismail

The emails are not sent out if the user making the change
has the 'administer users' permission. This would make the changes
made by you as the site admin not generate the email. If your regular
user account also has the administer users permission then the emails
would again not be sent out.

We are using the module in production now and mails are being
sent out fine so I think we'll need more details of your issue to
confirm.

First question is whether or not you have access to your mail server
logs so that it can be determined that indeed there are no attempts
at sending out mail occurring.

Hi,

I see the issue now. The emails are never be sent because both admin and regular account that I use to test have 'administer users' permission.

Thank you for pointing me to the right direction. I had no idea what happen before, because this module worked fine at my test server.

And also, thank you for such great module!

The minor point is mentioned in the README file packaged with
the module in case another person comes across this same
issue in the future.

Great module, but the issue above presents a problem for me. I want the user to have permission to delete their account also, which they can't do without the administer users permission?

User's not being able to remove their accounts from a site is
something of a weakness in Drupal core. You can check
out this module which might give you what you want:

http://drupal.org/project/user_delete

I have not used but seems to be what you need.

also possibly: http://drupal.org/project/user_cancellation
