Subscription emails not sent for users until they are changed

Vote:
 

In a site migrated from 4.62 to 5R2SP1 the subscriptions are not working. If I change a page under a subscritpion root, and manually trigger the subscription, the result message states that 108 emails were sent, but when I look in the pickup folder (SMTP disabled) there are only two mails.

Since those two emails were addressed to my test users which I have been changing I tried to change the e-mail address (from admin) of an other user with subscription and repeated the test with changing a page and triggering the subscription. Boom! Three e-mails in the pickup folder, including one to the user I just changed.

Any ideas what I should be looking for here?

Solved it. Apparently the users who did not receive an e-mail (even though they were counted as sent) did not have their EPiServerProfile.Email property filled, only the membership e-mail address (available through EmailWithMembershipFallback property). I guess the subscription handler uses the Email property. By looping through all users and setting Email = EmailWithMembershipFallback the problem disappeared and the expected number of emails were sent.

This sounds related to a problem I'm having and have not managed to find a solution.  

I've posted a reply there as it details the circumstances more and also has testimony from another user to the same effect.

My question here is can you detail some code to do the looping through of the  Email=EmailWithMembershipFallback.

Please also read the other thread as I discuss more about possible solutions to have the createuserwizard get everything sorted correctly for future registrations.
