Setting up email alerts for probe

I'm setting up to receive an email on a specific alert. Currently we're not using emails for alerts for anything that I'm aware of. Looking at the "Base setup" under log settings, I see that several categories appear to be ticked for email. Since I only want an email alert for 1 specific item, I assume I need to expand each category and untick the email column for each one?
Under log settings—>Automation, I don't see any addresses entered under "E-mail Log Automation" section. I wanted to be sure that by unticking all the email columns in "Base setup" that I'm not inadvertently eliminating any potential future alerts that we would have received otherwise. Basically I wanted to confirm that there's no other area I'm not familiar with that an email address would have been entered to receive the alert outside of the areas I've shown here if that makes sense? To my knowledge no one is currently receiving email alerts for anything.

you are right but first you would have to configure the SMTP for sending the log alert through email.
Follow the below KB's for the both configuration.
