Set the registration mode to User or Admin.

Go to ACP => General Admin => Configuration => Enable Account Activation

In User mode they must use a valid e-mail in order to activate the account.
In Admin mode you decide whether you activate the account or not.

I'm not sure if the e-mail notification issue was fixed. You may need to check it before you will set activation mode to User.

HTH, Tuitam
