And what is Maito?

@Maito a customer's team members stopped getting the daily digest email after they turned on SSO. Ticket #4410.

Reproduced. SSO users have no confirmed-email flag, and the digest job skips unconfirmed addresses. PR #702 treats SSO-verified emails as confirmed and adds a test. Checks pass. Reply to the customer is drafted below. Tomorrow's digest will reach their 46 SSO users once it merges.
