Hi Marina,
Actually the two words “MODERATION” and “ONLY” in the name of this plugin are essential. The rest is up to your WordPress settings on the Settings > Discussion admin page:
E-mail me whenever
check “Anyone posts a comment”
check “A comment is held for moderation”
If your WP installation is not sending any mails, there is something else going wrong. Verify if sending e-mails via PHP is at all possible on your hosting environment. If not, as SMTP plugin might be helpful to send mails via an external mail account.

I am using the atahualpa theme on a privately hosted blog with multiple authors. I have yet to find a plug in that will make sure an author is alerted by email when a comment is made on his/her post.
I tried a few plug ins, none of which worked. I had hopes for this one which I have installed and it also does not work:
“Send Comment Moderation E-mail only to Post Author”
Thanks so much!
