As per Setting Notification Preferences | SAP Help Portal:

Below the general preferences is a table listing the different types or categories of notifications that you have received so far. This table is empty until you receive your first notification. The list expands over time as you receive different notification types relating to your business role.

     

Preferences for Specific Notification Types > E-Mail

Select this option to receive an additional e-mail for a notification. This option is only available for some notification types; if this option is disabled, no e-mail notifications can be sent. If your e-mail address is not provided in the system, the column is not displayed and you cannot enable e-mail notifications. To check your e-mail address open Settings  User Account. 

Resolution

By default, the email option is selectable only when the corresponding notification type supports email delivery. Customers can choose to enable or disable email delivery based on their requirements.

In all other cases where email delivery is not supported, the email option will appear greyed out.
