Is there any way to turn off a setting so that other users cannot send me PMs?

This new system should legitimately be called Public Messaging, not Private.  Including the entire PM in the email notification makes the message completely public, not just on the internet where it is always true, but somewhere sits a server with copies of every single PM being sent from this site.

You can turn off email notification in your preferences on the "My Messages" screen.  If you are requesting further functionality, please make a suggestion in the Feedback Module.

Done.  I like to receive notifications that I have a PM.  But including the full text of the PM in the email makes it public, not private.

I will go back and put the suggestion in feedback later.  It appears to be very easy to change this setting in the software.  With the text being included in the email, I will not accept the notification, nor will I send any PMs via this software.  Less security conscious board members may feel differently, but I think it is a huge security hole worthy of Microsoft.

If I could, I would turn off the ability of board members to even send me PMs via here until closed.  But that is me.

The good part about the Feedback Center is that people can vote Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down on a suggestion...  so if enough people want the message text not included with the notification I will take it out of the template.
