Well, everybody can choose in drupal if they want to recieve mails from people via the "contact form":

Personal contact form
Allow other users to contact you by e-mail via your personal contact form. Note that while your e-mail address is not made public to other members of the community, privileged users such as site administrators are able to contact you even if you choose not to enable this feature.

Well, I noticed on my site that some people forget to change the default option (recieve NO mails via contact form). So the following questions:
1. how can you access that option in phpMyAdmin,
2. how can you change the default setting for that option?

The default setting is located under "admin/build/contact/settings".

You can't do a blanket change using a mysql command, because the option of whether or not to have the contact form enabled exists in a serialized array in the "data" field of the "users" table. You could do it by loading each individual, setting the value in php, and then re-saving their record, but that might take quite a bit of processing time depending on how many users your site already has.

Sorry, but how do I access "admin/build/contact/settings"?
Is that in the database, in the files, or in the settings?

if you have clean urls enabled, it would be www.yoursite.com/admin/build/contact/settings
If you don't have clean urls enabled, it would be www.yoursite.com/?q=admin/build/contact/settings

Does this work in Drupal 4.7.6 too??

Your link points to the normal "administer" startpage (log)
