I want to receive an email notification when a particular user in my discourse forum makes a posts. I currently have it set to “follow” them, but I am not getting emails when they make posts.
Hello and welcome @proot 
Have you ticked the box on your Preferences/Notifications page?
[YourSite]/my/preferences/notifications
(and it might be worth checking your Preferences/Emails settings too 
)
Edit:
Having said that, I now can’t remember if I’ve ever received an email for a Follow notification. 
I shall go and test.
Update: It does not look like that is a notification that triggers an email.
Hopefully someone will correct me if I’m mistaken…
That depends on this user preference:
Send me an email when someone quotes me, replies to my post, mentions my @username, or invites me to a topic
That’s what I initially thought, but I set both to ‘Always’ and Followed a test user to check. I got the notification of when they posted, but no email. And no email was sent or skipped. I may have fluffed the test somehow.
@JammyDodger, I have the same experience as you. I am not receiving emails when someone I am watching makes a post, including when I have the preference Jay mentioned set to Always.

I’ve tried it again a few times, and I’m not getting an email generated for that notification.

Pretty sure email notifications aren’t implemented in the Plugin yet.
Suggest you post on the Plugin Topic.
