    I checked your profile, and no, you have not set up email. You have your email address set up, I'm sure.

    But, Yahoo! Answers has a email communications system that is separate from your email. To enable your email on Yahoo! Answers:

    Go to your Privacy and Communications and check these box(es), depending on which ones you want

    http://answers.yahoo.com/my-activity/edit/settings

    The Answers Community Can Contact me:

    [✔] Via Email (Your address will remain private) ← you're looking for this one.

    [✔] Via Yahoo! Messenger.

    Click Submit.

    Now, try messaging the person again and you'll be taken to a message screen instead of the "you need to enable..." screen.
