This is it, thanks! It was set to “non-staff”, which is odd because I’m pretty sure I was staff when i tried to invite. Anyway, I set it to “no”, and it works now.

I didn’t know know imports didn’t make a 100% faithful copy. Although I guess this is somewhat documented [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/all-email-disabled-after-restoring-backup/109742).

Thanks again.
