Toggles email notifications on and off. When notifications are enabled, an email is sent to each of the email addresses specified when a task is generated.
Email address

When you complete your changes, click Test e-mail to verify the task information is sent. If the email server uses spam-blocking software, this test can fail and prevent the email from displaying in the test in-box. When the test is successful, click Apply or OK. Then, click Save

When notification is enabled, we can optionally include an email address of the sender on the email notification. If no email address of the sender is specified, the address of the server is used. The email address is validated for syntax.
