Not receiving Alert emails in TFS Projects

Hi 
When users in TFS are not receiving Alert emails for any of the notifications. I tried testing the email feature from TFS Admin console and its working fine (Received email)
We enabled the send email in GUI.. However when we try to verify in command prompt , it shows as disabled.

I was able to reproduce this with a desktop install of Team Foundation Server 2013, version 12.0.30723.0 (Tfs2013.Update3) and 12.0.31101.0 (Tfs2013.Update4).
The command-line help for tfsconfig configuremail says:
TfsConfig configureMail /Enabled:<true|false>
/FromEmailAddress:<email address>
/SmtpHost:<SMTP host name>
Changes the From: email address and the SMTP host used for Team Foundation
Notifications.
I was able to enable or disable email alerts from the command line by setting the Enabled parameter to true or false.
However when I ran the command without the parameter Enabled, it set the "Enable Email Alerts" checkbox to false, and then I got the message "Email alerts disabled."
Notice that this parameter is not mentioned in the
documentation.
This behavior seems to be a documentation bug or tool bug, depending on the perspective. It might be that the intended default behavior was to disable alerts if no parameter was passed. If so it needs to be documented.
However, the logical expectation would be for the command without parameters to just show its current Enabled, SMTP Server and Email From Address values. From this perspective this is a bug as it has an unintended and undocumented side effect. You might
want to report this at the
Microsoft Connect website.

  • Not receiving alert emails

    Hi,
    I have created an alert catagory and using it for SAP and PI errors. The alert catagory is working fine.
    I am able to receive the alert mails for SAP in the mail id maintained in SU01(Email option is selected their).
    My id is maintained in SCOT as well.
    I am not able to receive the alert mail for PI errors, in my email (maintained in SU01).
    I am receiving the mail in alert inbox for PI errors.
    I can see the alert log in "Alrtdisp" and "sxmxalrt_logreader"
    I ran the RSALRTTEST report and received the alert email.
    But when I am trying to fail an interface from RWB and test, I receive email only in my alrt inbox, not email.
    Note: I am not able to see the mails in SOST
    Please help!!!

  • Why is mail not receiving Calendar email alerts?

    Why is mail not receiving Calendar email alerts?

    where is everybody?
    Do I have to go to another site ?

  • I am not receiving new email alerts on iphone 4s. I have powered down and also deleted the email account and reset all notification. I have to manually fetch all emails

    Please help with new emails. I am not receiving new email notification. I have to manually fetch all emails. I have contacted Apple several times. I have powered device all the way down, reset me.com. My me.com account works great on Mac. Please help

    So all email notifications were not coming thru...from any source. Talked to another Apple text and he advised me to shut down the multitask bar at the bottom. So far so good. Seems kind of strange because the problem had only started about a month ago. I've had the phone since August

  • Not Receiving Test Emails

    One of our clients is trying to send an email campaign however they are having trouble sending the test email. They are sending it to themselves and see the confirmation alert that says "Success, test email sent" however the email does not arrive in their inbox.
    I have tested this on my system and have the same trouble. I have tried on PC and Mac, Tunderbird, Gmail, Yahoo and my client uses Outlook on Mac) - nothing. I have checked my clients webmail account and nothing there either.
    I have also created a new test email campaign and still not receiving test emails.
    Can someone please look into this - I have submitted an urgent support case but have not heard back. My client is not happy and needs to send theor campaign IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!
    The site is www.angeldesigns.com.au

    Hi Mary and all,
    The issue related to email campaigns and other system emails has been resolved. However, there is a large number of emails in the queue, so sending might be delayed.
    We have not had any issues with the email service Mary, so I'm not sure what problem is your customer having at the moment. Can you please give us more details about what is the problem that your client is experiencing?
    As for the green buttons, they are for website rendering and the email service and they are updated automatically based on the system monitors. They don't reflect the email campaign status, which is updated manually. However, I'll work with the team to have the layout changed so that it's cleared.
    Thanks and please accept our apologies for this inconvenience.
    Kind regards,
    Florin

  • Requisition are not receiving the email communcation............Workflow

    Hi Friends,
    Here is my query on Workflow,
    One of our customer created a purchase order through shopping cart,in the place of the requisitioner details they maintain the user id and we checked the user id in Su01, and i found out the mail id and and user id has been maintained here and the communication method is "Remote Mail".
    Our system is configured in such a way that when the requisitioner will create a purchase order one mail should go to the inbox of the requisioner through workflow procedure.
    I checked the workflow and it is showing that mail has successfully sent.
    Now the user has raise a query that "he is not receiving any email communication whenever he is creating PO through shopping cart".We confirm with the user about the communication mail id and he said that the mail id is correct and the same mail id has been maintained in SAP.
    If anybody faced this kind of problem than pls help me on this.
    Thanks a lot .

    Hi Kumar,
    Are you expecting the emails in the Outlook inbox? Is it an external mail id?
    Check things below -
    1. Are alerts being generated? Check transaction ALRTINBOX to make sure that.
    2. Check transactions SOST to see emails are generated for the users.
    3. Make sure that in transaction SCOT, the user id is added as supported address types.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Rahul.

  • Did not receive confirmation email

    I purchased a phone charger about an hour ago and still have not received a confirmation email. I had checked out as a guest so I cannot check the order status that way and the charge has already showed up on my card. Additionally I had chosen the in store pick up option and am worried I will not receive an email alerting me when I am able to come and pick it up.  Has anyone had something similar like this happen? Is there anyone I can specifically contact?

    Hello hk5791a,
    I'm very sorry to hear that your order confirmation email had not arrived after over an hour. Certainly we strive to provide communications that are prompt and accurate and I very much regret that this was not your experience.
    Using the information you provided when you signed up for Best Buy Unboxed, I was able to locate your order. It appears that you were able to pick it up successfully yesterday afternoon!
    I'm very grateful that you wrote to us about your experience.
    Regards,

  • I am trying to reset my security questions, but I have not received the email with instructions. What is the problem?

    I initially created my apple account years ago. I am trying to reset my security questions because my answers are continually incorrect. I pressed the link that sends reset security questions info to my alt. address, but I have not received the email with instructions. I have resent the email several times and checked both of the emails I have set up with my apple account to no avail. I have tried everything that is provided in the support article about the issue and my problem has not be resolved. I've even deleted my alt email from the apple account and then reassigned it and tried again, however, I still have not received the email. Without knowing the answers to my security questions, I cannot purchase anything from the iTunes store, which I have been trying to do.
    I do not know what the problem is and I am asking for any resolutions. Please and thank you!

    Go to the Apple ID Security site from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 or call the AppleCare support number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with the Account Security Team...either can help you reset your questions/answers.

  • Not receiving some emails from specific sender.

    Hi.I just started getting the problem of not receiving some emails. I have not had this problem with the sender until yesterday.  My sender is sending me emails from gmail, some with attachments and some without, to my comcast email and it's not getting through. It is just one specific sender that I know of. I narrowed it down to my comcast account because I had the sender send myself the email to my comcast address and cc me on my gmail address. I received it on my gmail account but not my comcast account. I use Outlook for comcast but I even checked the webmail on comcast with nothing there. I checked the spam folder also and it's not there. Please help, these are important emails. Thank you.

    Same issue, as far as I know it is just 1 person.  But I have no way of knowing.  I also had them CC my Gmail and it went through to Gmail but not my comcast.  I then had them use a secondary comcast email and it didn't go through.  Comcast seems to be blocking this person for some unexplained reason.  It's frustrating and so far has cost me $525 because they thought I was ignoring them.  They are using my Gmail until I get it straightened out, so the financial loss shouldn't increase, I just hope others aren't having the same problem and I don't know about it.  

  • Not receiving iCloud emails

    I haven't received a single email to my iCloud (@me.com) account since Friday - I know there must be some sort of problem because I have ordered from Amazon and Tesco, who always send confirmation emails but I have received nothing. I've already checked my settings and there is nothing being forwarded anywhere. I don't know what to do, I feel like I am missing important emails and haven't a clue how to fix it. The problem is the same on all of my devices - using icloud.com, my iPhone, and my iPad. Anyone have any advice?!?

    Hi nickp0423,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not receiving any emails to your iCloud email account on multiple devices. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • Not receiving bt emails?

    My email telling me my bt bill is ready online and my bt confirmation email for paying my bill online in my bt have not been received. I always get an email for both these things. Any ideas why I have not received these emails?
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The customer service bloke had no idea and could not help. That is the BT solution to not receiving a confirmation email when you pay using their online system. Absolutely no help what so ever. I have the live chat transcript- which when the poor english is deciphered, promises help in 24 hours. The famous BT lie. I will not be using their online payment system again as i do not feel it is secure as it gives no confirmation of payment. I do not want my bank details going around overseas when i thought the system was secure and electronically automated. I have contacted my bank regarding the matter and they agree with me i should not risk my card details in an unsafe system.

  • Not receiving confirmation emails

    I logged into the the Creative Cloud and I am hit with a message that says I must confirm my email. However, no matter how many times I hit "resend" I am not receiving the email (I added adobe.com to my "safe sender list"). I never received a confirmation email of my order, either. This concerns me if you are going to rely on my confirming my email address to offer services that I may have problems using your new service. Any ideas?

    Agreed, but its still under final brush as if I know and would be live on 11th ,
    I would not say it is the small version its more for the trailer of the film, with jus few shots here and there,
