Hello!
If we change email for activation registered account too quiqly then `enqueue_activation_email` method of `users_controller` enqueue job without delay, so we got message to old email. May be it should be something that:
> Jobs.enqueue\_in(2.second, :critical\_user\_email, type: :signup, user\_id: @user.id, email\_token: @email\_token.token)
or may be it possible to set low priority to that job?
Thanks!

Can you describe exactly how you are doing this? Through the API or through the user interface by clicking / tapping buttons, etc?

I do it through the user interface, by clicking on change email button for sending activation message after account registration. Paste other email-address at once, but receive message to old email. Same if click on back button in browser and type new email. If i do delay, then all is ok.

Are you attempting to change password on a staff account? This requires verifying both old AND new emails for security reasons.
