    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Steps to Reproduce

      Let's say we have a user called userX and userY

      1. Create a new page titled PageA
      2. Add some content and mention @userX in the page
      3. Save the page
      4. UserX will receive a mention notification email
      5. Edit PageA
      6. Mention @userY
      7. Mention @userX
      8. Save the page
      9. UserY will receive a mention notification email
      10. UserX will not receive a mention notification email

      I'm not sure if this is by design that one user, would get only, one mention notification email, per one single content object (page/comment/blogpost). If so, I'd think this would fall under improvement rather than a bug, but we should clarify further about it in its doc.

      Atlassian Status as of February 14, 2017

            +1 there are multiple Users in our company which rely on to be notified when they get mentioned on a single page more than once...

            I'd like to have it as well.

            I absolutely agree. We also built on that feature. The designed system could make sense in your organization but won't fit in every company.
            Please make it configurable if we want to have a new email per new mention!

            I agree with everyone else and this is an issue for me as well. Seems like this should be configurable at the very least. I consider this a bug as well as it's working today.

            Same problem over here - I need the @mentions to be sent out for subsequent mentions on the same page. One of my teams use it to track their overall work and who is currently working on it - this means the tasks are moving around a lot, so the tasks get assigned to one person multiple times before it is completed and closed.

            At the moment the only way for the team to use it is to 'watch' the page and be alerted to every change to the tasks, even if none of the changes relate to any of the things they are working on.

            I would love to see this come out as an improvement, so people can use the @mentions how they are expecting to.

            Thanks!
