My Pi-Alert isn't probably working anymore. First the latest docker
image give me a 403 error trying to access the webinterface and on
23.10 isn't sending mail. The settings are working on other systems.
So now I'm searching for an alternative.

Is there a network scanner available which sends me mail notifications
on new devices?

When using PiAlert make sure you use the fork
https://github.com/jokob-sk/Pi.Alert and not the [very outdated
original](https://github.com/pucherot/Pi.Alert).

A much much simpler tool that works well is [Watch Your
LAN](https://github.com/aceberg/WatchYourLAN).

I use the correct Fork. On watch your LAN seems to me not being able
to send mail notifications 😩

Yes it can.
