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

And on frwiki

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?

no. It is checked.
