User has not recieved the email in outlook but Outbox/Email table log shows the user in TO recipient

Explaination -

Issue- (Note this is happening with one particular user only)

  • Work Notes section shows the email entry which is sent and that shows the two users in TO recipient. User A, User B
  • Email log - sys_email table or outbox table shows the log in SENT state. PFB breakdown of two field from email log.
    • To - User A, User B
    • Recpients - User B only
  • Outlook email has been sent to only User B.

Findings -

  • User record is active, valid and not locked out.
  • Notification device record is ACTIVE true.
  • Notification is based on the event. So, event is getting generated and Param1 is having two sys_id of user record (User A, User B)
  • Notification is not having any condition, it is event based.
  • Notification record's Param1 field is checked.

Only catch i can see is -> sys_email log is showing two users in TO field but only 1 in Recipient field.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in adv!

things to check

-> if user is there in recipient and email is sent then check in that user's outlook config if it's going to Junk/spam folder

-> is this happening with only that user or any other user as well

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar 
User is not in the outlook email's recipient itself.

But he is there in the TO field of Sys_email log table

+

He is not there in the RECIPIENT field of sys_email log table.

@Kartik Choudha1 

if that user is in TO then that should also be sufficient.

How about this happening with other user?
