I was going wacko as well trying to get these to work. I have a ReadyNAS Pro 4 running 4.2.21
The only thing that worked was to:

4) hit "Apply"
5) hit "send test message"
At that point I received a notification at my gmail account.
THEN... you can add other email addresses in the Alert Contact 2 and 3 fields (NOT the Alert Contact 1 field) hit "Apply" and then "Send Test Message" again.
At that point I was able to receive alerts at all three email accounts. The first was a gmail account, the second a comcast account and the third was a domain account for my company.
