:Fixed, tested and now it works for me. Thanks.

You can now email me :).
I had the email not enabled. I don't know why.

I'm suspecting most of us forgot to verify email on projects other than our primary when that change was made - I know that's what it was with me.

Scratch that: I just checked Special:Preferences and found that I *HAD* confirmed email:
E-mail Your e-mail address was authenticated on 23:15, 30 March 2006.
Greg, are you sure you got this list right? If so, are we sure that the Special:Preferences page is reporting right?
-Matt
Duh. Checkbox was off.
Did this at some point get set to default to NOT accepting mail?

What I do not really understand is that I did not do anything different between commons and the about 50 projects where I have an account. So, why was is that I authenticated others, but that commons disabled "accepting mails" ? In the past, my default option was to always accept emails. Was it disabled ?
There is another oddity, in the prefs, for commons, here is what I see
Your e-mail address was authenticated on 10:43, 12 August 2007. E-mail me when a page I'm watching is changed E-mail me when my user talk page is changed E-mail me also for minor edits of pages Enable e-mail from other users Send me copies of emails I send to other users
And on frwiki

Your e-mail address was authenticated on 00:14, 29 November 2006. Enable e-mail from other users Send me copies of emails I send to other users
Now, can someone explain to me why on the commons, I have 5 options. Whilst on frwiki, I have only 2 ?

That's because Commons has an extension called Enotif enabled, whereby you can get email notifications when your watchlist/talkpage is changed. Since many people don't regularly check their Commons talk page, it was thought to be a useful thing so people can find out if they get a deletion warning or something.
I believe Meta also has Enotif enabled. I wonder if they also have a problem with 'email enabled' becoming mysteriously unchecked?
cheers, Brianna

I suspect this bug affects more than admins... would it be possible to generate similar reminders for other users?

Which ones?
Active ones?
I could easily list 'em...

That's the unspoken dilemma :-)
I really have no idea. Is there any automated way to find indicators which suggest they wanted people to be able to contact them? Any way of looking for people linking to special:emailuser?

I had also authenticated but the "Enable e-mail from other users" box was not checked. Fixed now.
