After migrating from Spigot-Essentials build 12 to EssentialsX build 176, I had wanted to disable the No new mail notification as advertised on the wiki. However, I could not find such a setting in our existing config.yml file, even after executing /ess reload.

Workarounds

After searching the issue tracker, I found the config option in question: notify-no-new-mail. Manually adding this to our config file and reloading disabled the mail notification on login, as expected.

Suggestions

I propose having missing config options saved, with their defaults, to the config file after executing /ess reload, so that those migrating from Spigot-Essentials to EssentialsX or upgrading may more easily find new settings.

Notes

Unrelated, but thank you for working on EssentialsX. I very much appreciate the continued maintenance and development of a vital plugin to the server ecosystem. The ability to disable the mail notification easily tops one of my favorite features.

Upgrading doesn't add the new options to the config, you have to add them or regenerate yourself.

But since this resource is constantly being updated I would really like this feature.

+1 on this idea.

I can add a wiki page with new options but adding them to the config will delete comments which I will not do.

Understood; thank you for the response!
