Reset to default 4As far as I'm aware, it's not possible via Add New under the Users tab, however, the wp_create_user function will let you create users without an email address:
$username = 'someuser';
$pass = 'swordfish';
$new_user_id = wp_create_user( $username, $pass );
You'd have to wrap that in a basic plugin and provide some sort of UI for adding users.
such a plugin exists: https://wordpress/plugins/optional-email/ but hasn't been maintained for a while. Still works on one of my sites however.
