**As** a User
**I want to** enabled or disable the option to receive mail notifications when I'm added as a watcher
**so that** I can decide if I receive those notifications or not.
**Acceptance criteria**
* There is a checkable option "Added as watcher" in the form _User account > Notification settings > Non-participating_.
* The option is unchecked per default.
* Checking the option would enable notification emails whenever the user is added as a watcher to a work package.
* The notification settings must be settable by the API
**Trivia** Trivia
* This feature is inspired by the request ##55366
* The new option would simply fit into the already existing list:
<img class="image_resized op-uc-image op-uc-image_inline" style="width:237px;" src="/api/v3/attachments/109782/content">
* with the default being "unchecked" it would disable email notifications for all, as it is currently always sent
* as written [here](https://community.openproject.org/work_packages/55366/activity#activity-10) it is very important for users, to make this changeable from the API, too
* there is a legacy endpoint `/api/v3/my_preferences` that is redirected to `/api/v3/users/me/preferences`, update the docs and initiate a real deprecation round
