Users not receiving email for Dashboard access

When I am sharing a dashboard with users, usually an intimation email goes to that user that he has access to a Dashboard. For at least a month, I am facing the issue that this email is not going to users. Is this any bug?

    kapilmahajan Did you share the dashboard with the user before they logged in to Power BI for the first time? - This will cause this behaviour. In addition, there is a setting in the dashboard properties that will disable emailing people, make sure that checkbox is still ticked.

        Have the same problem within my domain.  Email 1 is set up as admin.  Domain in registered with Power BI with the text file added to the hosting.

         

        Email 2 is set up

         

        Both have subscribed to the Pro license

         

        When Email 1 shares a dashboard with Email 2 using the Share feature which is suppose to send an email - - the sharing works but no email is ever received by Email 2.   Email 2 logs on and the dashboard is there.

         

        No emails are received either from other Domains attempting to share externally to mine.  So it is both internal & external.

         

        Am very definite about this that there is no set up or cockpit error.  Because it works for others and there are not alot of posts on this topic I've done a search to see if my domain is black listed in some way but find nothing there.  Receive plenty of other Microsoft emails to it - just never this Power BI Share email.  Have also gone thru the Network Solutions Hosting info on email reception problems and verified no filtering.
