There a frequent postings telling people to check their PMs. Someone has just stated that you can have e-mail notification of a PM 'if you set it up correctly'. Please could someone advise me how to 'set it up' because I am blowed if I can find out how to do it. Many thanks.

In the Messaging and Notification panel|Private Messaging, tick 'Enable Private Messaging'.
Tick 'Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages'.
Tick 'Show New Private Message Notification Pop-up'.
There are other options available.

Saab will advise, I'm sure, but the feature had been disabled by Danny for the last 10 years! Tick it to your heart's content, but it never USED to work.

It always worked for me. It may only be because I'm a mod, but then I am sure it worked before I was a mod (but then I've been one since 2004...)

Thanks - good news. I'm certain it never used to (perhaps before IB?)
I'll await my first email!
EDIT: Thanks to Mr O I didn't have to wait long
EDIT II - and exascot.
