This option allows you to prevent Administrators or System processes from
sending you messages. If you are the only administrator, or work with a small
group of administrators, you may choose not to use this feature at all. It is a
good idea to leave the box open while you are adding new Components as it
will help you be aware of system processes.

new message.
