Does the same functionality as BuddyPress, emailing users who get mentioned in a bbPress topic or reply. The aim of this plugin is when to enable that feature when no BuddyPress is there. 
To do: – warn user about bbPress/BuddyPress presence

bbPress Mentions Email Notifications

Adds the @mentions to bbpress - really useful

Great plugin

Email bbPress topic/reply mentioned users, set custom email and some basic settings
