      Description

      Although emailstop was removed from early Moodle 2 versions (MDL-26304) and recently implemented (MDL-30260) to prevent messages from being sent via email to user. Which now can be controlled by the user from block administration > user > messages. It was removed from admin/tool/uploaduser.

      Please consider re-implementing it.
