Hi, I have installed MediaWiki 1.28.0 on my local webserver running debian 7.11 amd64, mysql 5.5.54 and php 5.5.38. The Extension:Echo has been installed for notification capability, Echo installed fine and is working as expected except for the Email-bundling feature. The email notifications are send through an external SMTP (gmail).
I'm testing the email notification feature by linking from (Main) to a wiki page(AdminsPage) owned by a specific user (admin). When the user preference for email frequency is set to 'immediate' notification emails are instantly send when a link is made to the users page. So far everything as expected and fine. Because instant notifications lead to spam I set the email notification interval to a daily summary, but now emails are no longer send.
In LocalSettings.php following settings for Echo are set:
$wgDefaultUserOptions['echo-email-frequency']=1;
$wgEchoEnableEmailBatch = true;
$wgEchoUserJobQueue = true;
$wgEchoBundleEmailInterval=120;
With showJobs.php --list I can confirm that a job is added to the queue when a link is created, but when runJobs.php is executed no email is send and the job is cleared from the queue.

In the end what should be achieved is a weekly email notification to the user bundling all new and edited pages, like a newsletter. The idea was to use the Extension:Echo and Extension:EditNotify.
For any hints or solutions I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance for your help!
