Hi,

i'm a bit confused as to what Alfresco can do in terms of email notification.

can it only send emails when a user account is registered or can it be set up to send emails when someone checks out a document, changes the version, creates a new document etc?

You cannot do it using only a configuration. You have to develop a some javascripts.

For actions that can be intercepted by a rule configured on a folder, you can write a javascript code.

The following url describes how to do it:

For checkout and checkin, you can use behaviours but it's also possible to use rules and intercept the creation and the deleting of the working copy.
To check whether a document is a working copy, you can read the properties: node.properties["cm:lockOwner"]
