Quite self-explanatory really.

All of us have the option in our Control Panel to receive or decline e-mails from other members.

Some choose not to receive e-mails and that's what's happened to you when you attempted to send one.

It's the same with Private Messages as well, we all have a choice whether to receive them or not.

Wasn't emails disabled after someone used it to spam members?

Yep, both are correct - Members can disable e-mail contact features, but it has also been disabled globally as people were using it for spam. PM's are the best way to contact people on-site

LoL ... you obviously don't receive much "spam" in your mailbox.

Computer programs, even legit ones, can harvest information ... how do you think Google works.

We call them "spiders" for obvious reasons. An email spider that visits a website forum with one purpose in mind: collect as many email addresses as possible so the owner can spam you with email later.
