Satish, As far as I know, setting the messaging preferences within Home>Adminstration>Patron categories will only affect patron account records created *after* the change in the messaging preferences of the Patron category templates. It is not retro-active; however, I know that my institution's Koha support vendor, ByWater Solutions, ran a script on our database which changed the messaging preferences of every patron record to match the preferences found in Patron category templates. Does that make sense?
I do not know why your Koha system has not sent welcome email messages to your batch-loaded patrons. For some reason, the messaging cron which sends messages and notices does not recognize the batch-loaded patrons as being in need of welcome messages.
