I made this "lowest enhancement", but on second thought I'm closing this
WONTFIX.
What you want is bug 4995, while forcefully disabling email *receiving* to an
user makes very little sense: the user can disable email in the preferences if
wished/needed.

Quoting Chad:

This is not the way to go about doing this--I do not think this should be
coupled with the blocking system at all.

The biggest problem is that we want to remove their ability to receive e-mail,
but not necessarily edit (this has been the same issue with upload, sending
e-mail, editing talkpages, and every other random permission we want to block).
The second problem is that receiving e-mail is not a permission at all, so this
entire thing is a kludge.

If you're going to do this, please just do it right by fixing bug 14636 so we
can block individual rights without having to do a schema change every time
someone comes up with $newThingTheyWantToBlock.
