Thanks … I had a hunch that would be the case.

But now we have two UI settings that are tied but without any visual indication.

Personally my preference would be for these two things (staged users and anonymous incoming email) to be unlinked like they were “before”, but it seems like at a minimum the anon email setting should be disabled if the staged users are disabled globally.
