Question

There are two very strange things here:

The final build result of my configuration will appear

I had the same problem this week.

You can do what Antala Ashik says. I deleted plugin 2.73 and installed 2.69

• Go to this link: https://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/plugins/email-ext/
• Download the HPI file
• Go to Jenkins > Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Advanced
• Scroll down to Upload Plugin section and select the HPI file
• Restart

It should be working now.

Or you can follow the link below. You can use a Groovy script to set your configurations. It seems to be possible workaround.
