ok, maybe i have make this clear a little bit
i just want this button under member profile to disappear (see attachment
so members can only send forum personal message to other member not e-mail

i don't want to disable activate e-mail, reminder e-mail etc

so far i can see simplemachines.org doesn't have e-mail button in every members' profiles
how can i do that?

and how do i disable the allow user to e-mail me function for all members?

If your members go to their profile and Account settings, they can hide that, anyway.

Not from admins, though, which is useful.

The standard is to show the e-mail, unfortunately.

I believe that's going to change, in future versions.

"Hidden" will be the default, as it should be.

i'm going to remove the allow member to e-mail option at register page

but how i do apply "uncheck allow member to e-mail me" option for all existing members? 
unfortunately i have 1300 members in my forum, i can't edit it one by one

I don't think you can.

What I did, on my forum, was send a mass-PM to everyone, telling them that there e-mail addresses were open to everyone to see, unless they hid them, themselves.

Worked a treat!
