I ran into this problem just over a month ago when I became an admin on en.wiktionary - I'd added my email address but failed to spot the addtional checkbox.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to make a note of this checkbox's existence right by where you enter your email address. Is this set on a MediaWiki: namespace page somewhere or do we need a developer to do it?

I just tried three admins and they all didn't have email enabled. I'm sure this is a bug rather than the idea that they never enabled email.
I just doublechecked mine, and my address was filled in properly - but then I tried actually emailing to myself, which didn't work, and then I noticed the little checkbox at the bottom of the preferences, which I don't remember ever noticing before. So maybe people have their mail reception disabled unawares - people have been sending to me via en:, so I wouldn't have noticed until somebody said something (like now :-) ).
