Iphone email alerts issue.

Hello,
I have an iphone 4S and for some reason although my email is getting pushed to my phone, the audible alert and the little red indicator on the app displaying the number of new emails no longer work. Similarly, the red indicator on on the Facebook app and other apps no longer display.
I have consulted the iphone online user guide and also the settings on my hone, but alerts all seem to bet set correctly as far as I can tell.
If anyone can help with this I'd be very grateful.
Thanks.

Hi Roshanalex,
Went into the Notifications and in my hotmail account the Notification Centre button is ON.
The alert style is set to NONE.
The badge icon is set to ON.
The new mail sound is selected and show preview is also ON.

IPhone Email Alerts Will Not Open Message

Having odd problem with alerts on my iPhone 4s. Whenever I receive an email alert in the lock screen, swiping it, then entering my password, always opened the message. Now, however, it will only open the aplication and I have to select the inbox and then the message to read it. Would appreciate any suggestions on how this might be resolved. I made no changes to my notifcations or settings, which makes this even more mysterious! Thanks in advance for your help.

Process chain email alert issue

Hi,
I'm working with BASIS to get the email alert for Process chains working.
We've done the following so far:
1. Created a mail exchange group "SAP BW" with all required email addresses
2. In the Process chain, created a message variant and assigned the above private distribution list
3. BASIS configured SMTP in SCOT to reference the correct port and mail path
4. In SU01, Security added email addresses which were missing earlier for everyone in the distribution list
5. BASIS scheduled a job to run every 5 minutes to collect and send emails
I just ran a test process chain and failed a few loads. However, none of us are getting emails in our inbox. What step are we missing? Is there anything else we should be looking at?
Thanks,
Pooja.

few more things to check
1. Is the mail sent from SO01 working correctly?
2. Are the mails sent getting accumulated and seen in SCOT transaction queue?
3. Did you try using Individual addresses instead of distribution list?
These might help in boiling down to the actual problem though may not solve it. good luck!

SharePoint 2010 Blog Email Alert Issue

I can't seem to make heads or tails of this issue. Any insight would be appreciated.
When a user updates an existing blog post - for example to fix a typo - all users who have elected to receive alerts do, however the body of the content is displayed with strikethroughs. Either all of the content or the title and first few sentences
- even if the change(s) made are not in the first few sentence. Here's is an example of the alert email i received. I changed two words to TYPO and this is how the alert was returned to me:
Title:
test5
Body:
this is how the alert email will look when a change is made.
this is how the alert email will look when a change is made. this is how the alert email
will look when a change is made. this is how the alert email will look when a change is made.
this is how...
this TYPO how the alert email will look when a change is made.
this is how the alert email will look when a change is made. this is how the alert email
will look when a change is made. this is how the alert email will look when a change is made.
this is how TYPO alert email will look when a change is made. this is how the alert email will look when a change is made. this is how the alert email will look when a change
is made. "
I'm trying to determine why is shows the strikethrough. I've tested this a million ways - versioning on/off, content approval on/off, etc. and again sometimes when i receive the
emails, everything in the body will have a strikethrough, and it just doesn't make sense to me.
I know we can customize the alert notification, but i'd hate to have to do that given this appears to behave more like a bug.
Has anyone else come across this, and other than customizing alerts, is there a away to either remove the strikethrough or fix it so that it actually only displays a strikethrough
on items that have changed?
Thanks!
Edit - it didn't come across when i submitted but the light gray text has the strikethrough it in on my alert email.

Here's the solution we were given by MS:
Problem:
You were intermittently getting strike on the text which you receive in email notification sometimes the strikes are on edited text sometimes they are on newly added text
for the site
Cause:
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation includes a set of predefined alert templates. These alert templates are stored in the Alerttemplates.xml file, which is located in the %ProgramFiles%\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML folder. Alerttemplates.xml defines the format, contents, filters, event types and properties used to create alert messages from each list type. A developer can customize alerts by modifying a copy
of the Alerttemplates.xml file and then loading the customized alert templates by using the command stsadm -o updatealerttemplates.
Resolution/Workaround:
Take a copy of alerttemplates.xml; look into: Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML
Replace all entries you find with <Limit Len="255" to 512
Be sure that you have a new filename!
run stsadm -o updatealerttemplates -url
http://SharePointName -filename YourFilename
Restart OWSTIMER; the SharePoint timer service in service manager
Hope this works for you!

Recently the sound on my Iphone 4 for texts, and email alerts started working intermittently. I have upgraded to the latest software and the Apple store even replaced the phone but safe issues

For each mail account, along with designating a primary SMTP server, you should be able to just turn off any and all other SMTP servers you have listed. In that case, if there is a problem with comcast, the message send should just fail.
Also make sure your comcast smtp settings are correct (port, likely 587 but might be something else for comcast, whether you should be suing SSL or not, do you need authentication or not).
You might find the comcast forums useful for getting the settings right - I found this:
http://forums.comcast.com/t5/E-Mail-and-Xfinity-Connect-Help/iphone-email/m-p/66 1151?view=by_date_ascending#M131151
The second poster notes, SSL should be on, authentication should be "password" and you should be using port 995

Not getting email alerts- iPhone 4 with latest IOS 6 and Yahoo

I noticed recently that I have not been getting email alerts when I receive emails on my iphone/iPad. I have a yahoo account. I checked the settings. The notification shows that alerts for mail are on. Push is on as well. I am wondering if there is a server issue with Yahoo?
The only time I know if I have new emails is if I go into the app itself. But the app icon will not show me alerts. I tried deleting the account and reinstalling it. No luck..... Any ideas?

Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas?

Is there a way to create an email alert in iCal on the iPhone (as it's possible to do on the laptop)?

Is there a way to create an email alert in iCal on the iPhone (as it's possible to do on the laptop)?

Nope.
You might be able to find another calendar app that can do that in the App Store.
And, you can always leave Apple feedback here -> Apple - iPhone - Feedback

Iphone 4s calendar alert issue

I tend to put 2 alerts on my calendar events, one for 1 day before and the second one for 1 hour before (or some other on the day of event). I have noticed that when I put in the first alert for 1 day before and then enter the second alert for 1 hour before and click done they have somehow been reversed, the first alert is now 1 hour before and the second alert is 1 day before. I have to click them again and change them to the proper order, this usually take about 3 tries to get them to stay as I want them. I can them save the event and all is good. I was at the Apple store and the staff duplicated this issue so I know I'm not the only one experiencing this nuissance. Has anyone else come across this? I do hope the upcoming update will fix it.

Update since Genius visit:
1) Apple is working on an update
2) There is no awareness at Apple of this calendar alert issue as a bug, hence it is not being addressed/worked on
3) Solutions offered by Genius have not resolved this issue.
Solutions offered by Genius, in order of which to try first:
1) Delete calendar data from iPhone: Settings>iCloud>Calendars OFF and then restore data from iCloud: Calendars ON
2) Reset iPhone settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
3) Restore to factory settings: Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings, then restore data from iCloud and in-app backups.
4) Use another calendar app (seriously)
Of course, if the bug is actually part of the iOS software (could it be?) then no amount of erasing and restoring data will fix the issue. I completed the first two options with no change, and am not willing to do the third option because I am not interested in going through the process of backing up, then restoring all my third-party apps.
My solution: raise awareness of this issue with Apple, so that it can be worked on and fixed. I have reported it as a bug through Apple's feedback module: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html and I encourage-- no, ask-- you to do the same, if you are experiencing this issue. I provided a link to this forum topic to show the variety and detail of problems.
Are you sick of missing alerts, fiddling endlessly, coming up with workarounds, paying for unreliable software, and not being responded to? I am. It's time to rally!

Custom Alert Email Templates Issue - List Alerts emails not using customized XML alert template

I have recently customized the XML alerts template (AlertTemplates.xml) for our site collection in SharePoint 2010 to exclude specific fields in the email when users who have subscribed to a list using the "Alert Me" feature. I
have renamed the custom alerts XML file and loaded the custom template in the following directory (%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML) and
restarted IIS. Once users subscribe to the alerts using the list using the "alert me" function they received the customized email as intended.
We needed to auto-subscribe users to the email alerts so what I did was used a powershell script to add users to the alert subscriptions using the script shown in below:
Import-Csv D:\Temp\filename.csv | ForEach-Object{
$webUrl=$_.WebUrl
$listTitle=$_.List
$alertTitle=$_.AlertTitle
$subscribedUser=$_.SubscribedUser
$alertType=$_.AlertType
$deliveryChannel=$_.DeliveryChannel
$eventType=$_.EventType
$frequency=$_.Frequency
$oldAlertID=$_.ID
$web=Get-SPWeb $webUrl
$testAlert = $web.Alerts | WHERE { $_.ID -eq $oldAlertID }
IF ($testAlert) {
$web.Alerts.Delete([GUID]$oldAlertID)
Write-Host Old alert $oldAlertID deleted. -Foregroundcolor Cyan
$list=$web.Lists.TryGetList($listTitle)
$user = $web.EnsureUser($subscribedUser)
$newAlert = $user.Alerts.Add()
$newAlert.Title = $alertTitle
$newAlert.AlertType=[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertType]::$alertType
$newAlert.List = $list
$newAlert.DeliveryChannels = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertDeliveryChannels]::$deliveryChannel
$newAlert.EventType = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventType]::$eventType
$newAlert.AlertFrequency = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertFrequency]::$frequency
if($frequency -ne "Immediate"){
$AlertTime=$_.AlertTime
$newAlert.AlertTime=$AlertTime
$newAlert.Update()
Write-Host Created $newAlert.Title for $subscribedUser . -Foregroundcolor Cyan
} ELSE {
Write-Host Alert $alertTitle for $subscribedUser already done. Moving on. -Foregroundcolor Magenta
When I ran the script and added the users and restarted the service, all users who were auto-subscribed via this method would get the email without the customizations that were done in the custom template. All users who manually subscribed to the list
using the "Alert Me" function would get the customized email.
Does anyone know why users who manually subscribe would get the custom email alert and why users who were auto-subscribed using the powershell script do not get the custom email alert?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that users who were auto-subscribed using the PowerShell script do not get the custom email alert.
For your issue, it can be caused by the auto-subscribed alert email which is generated by PowerShell script is using OOTB alert template. You can add the following script into your script for setting
the alerts’ alert email template:
$contentService = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService
$AlertsTemplateCollection =new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertTemplateCollection($contentService)
$newAlert.AlertTemplate = $AlertsTemplateCollection["YOUR_UNIQUE_TEMPLATE_NAME_VALUE"]

Add Issue ID to an email alert?

Dear all,
(running WSS 3.0)
I'm desperately trying to add the Issue ID to the alert email that is sent when a list item is assigned to you. I have looked around and followed many tutorials online, however none of my changes have had any effect. So far I have done:
Copied alerttemplates.xml to customalerttemplates.xml
Edited customalerttemplates.xml
Removed "ID" from <ImmediateNotificationExcludedFields>
Ran stsadm -o updatealerttemplates -url http://server -filename "C:\Program files\common files\Microsoft shared\web server extensions\12\template\XML\customalerttemplates.xml"
Ran iisrest
Restarted Sharepoint Timer service
However even after doing that the email sent when an item is assigned is just the basic default! I've just tried to add the ID to the most simple section of the email (footer) however nothing seems to change the email alert.
I've followed guides such as:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointdevelopment/thread/c458eb9c-e9a7-4957-98d8-596962c1e2c2

Can anyone please help?

I am aware that this is very old thread, and I needed similar solution to display ID in the email alerts.
I am using SharePoint 2010 Enterprise. And I am able to get it displayed correctly in the alerts. Output attached:
Here are the changes I did:
1. Created a copy of alerttemplates.xml and named it as alerttemplatesWithIssueID.xml.
2. Open it in browser to check the structure. And then removed "ID" from <Properties><ImmediateNotificationExcludedFields> and <DigestNotificationExcludedFields> for SPAlertTemplateType.GenericList and SPAlertTemplateType.AssignedToNotification
<AlertTemplate> types.
Note: <AlertTemplate Type="List" Name="SPAlertTemplateType.AssignedToNotification"> has just one property <Properties><ImmediateNotificationExcludedFields></Properties> as DigestNotification is not applicable for this event
type.
3. register it using stsadm -o updatealerttemplates command.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN>stsadm -o updatealerttemplates -url http://<sitecollectionUrl> -filename "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML\alerttemplatesWithIssueID.xml"
-lcid 1033
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN>iisreset
Attempting stop...
Internet services successfully stopped
Attempting start...
Internet services successfully restarted
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN>
4. My next todo action item is to display it on top instead of displaying ID at the bottom of the alert.
Thanks & Regards, Atul Shukla

Email Alert Template Issue - List Alerts (Alert Me) emails not using customized XML alert template

own to the list using the "Alert Me" function would get the customized email.
Does anyone know why users who manually subscribe to the alerts get the customized email, and users who were auto-subscribed using the powershell script do not get the customized email and get the standard generic email template?

Hi ,
According to your code, it create a new alert using SPUser.Alerts.Add() method. For this method, it will create a new alert based on the predefined alert template by default.
If you only assigned the custom alert template to the list, users who manually subscribe to the alerts get the customized email, but users who were auto-subscribed using the PowerShell script get the standard
generic email template.
For your issue, you can set the new alert ‘s alert template:

The text/email/alerts sound volume has gone right down on my iPhone 4

The text/email/alerts sound volume has gone right down on my iPhone 4, but the ringtone volume is still loud! Adjusting the volume in "Settings" only changes the ringer volume, I just can't find a way to increase the alerts volume! Help please!!!

Hi ecsands,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To "Choose alert sounds, adjust the alert volume, or turn vibrate on or off: Go to Settings > Sounds."
For more information, see Pg. 28 - 29 of the iPhone User Guide:
