Master > Core-Settings > Settings > Products > “Calculate newest Products by Date of Creation (otherwise by Date of last Change)”.

In order to set or reset the email address, to which all shop-generated emails are sent, use Master Settings > Core Settings as seen in below screenshot.

In order to set the Purchasable/non-Purchasable status of Parent Products (with Variants contained within them), set:
Master Settings > Core Settings > System > Variants > “Parent” Products can be purchased on/off.
