Just saw this message appear at the top of my forum:
> All outgoing email has been globally disabled by an administrator. No email notifications of any kind will be sent.
I was re-running an import script. Still using Gmail, but `/logs` doesn’t show anything for the past 24 hours (`Debug` through `Fatal` are checked).
_UPDATE_: after reloading the page, the message is gone. What might’ve happened?

The import script probably disable emails during import so it’s fast and doesn’t send emails with unfinished data.

Hello, I have intentionally disabled all outgoing emails. Now all users see the message on the top of the forum: _All outgoing email has been globally disabled by an administrator. No email notifications of any kind will be sent._
How can I disable this message? (Having outgoing emails still disabled)

OK, I got this quite fast.
Just need to add CSS customization:
```
.alert-emails-disabled {
display: none;
}
```

I have tired to restore from UI, and restore got failed, and I got message:
> All outgoing email has been globally disabled by an administrator. No email notifications of any kind will be sent.
```plaintext
root@xxx-app:/var/www/discourse# rails c
[1] pry(main)> SiteSetting.disable_emails = false
Discourse::InvalidParameters: value
from /var/www/discourse/lib/site_settings/type_supervisor.rb:181:in `validate_value'
[2] pry(main)>
```
but it does not help,
please let me know, how to remove this message and enable notifications.
Thanks.

Try `SiteSetting.disable_emails = 'no'`.

thanks very much.
I have set “disable emails” to “no”, at /admin/site\_settings/category/emailI, then it worked.

Você também pode configurá-lo via interface gráfica (parece mais fácil do que ter que editar um arquivo de configuração):
