As I start to learn Linux, I am migrating my email account from Outlook to Evolution mail on Ubuntu. I am not able to set the "Exchange Web Services" settings correctly when setting up my company email. Where can I find my current incoming server settings in Outlook?
I checked the FILE -> Account Settings -> E-mail tab and saw my account type is Microsoft Exchange, but not more information about the server address. Does anyone know where can I find it? Thanks.
Just double click the line which shows the account type, then you should see the server settings.

I have an use case where the addin should be enabled on specific machines instead of all the machines automatically.
Does bt:Url field in manifest.xml support that ?
If the Url is unreachable, mail should be allowed by default instead of being blocked (which is the default response from Outlook)enter image description here
Is there any way to do this ?
There are several ways to bridge the gap (solutions for your scenario):
Administrators can disable the on-send policy by ensuring the user's group policy setting Block send when web add-ins can't load is set to Disabled. To manage this policy setting, you can do the following:
Download the latest Administrative Templates tool.
Open the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).
Navigate to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Outlook 2016 > Security > Trust Center.
Select the Block send when web add-ins can't load setting.
Open the link to edit policy setting.
In the Block send when web add-ins can't load dialog window, select Enabled or Disabled as appropriate then select OK or Apply to put the update into effect.
In the onSend event handler you may detect the mailbox or call an external web service which can give the answer whether to run your workload for a specific user / mailbox or not. Following that way you will be able to run your stuff for particular users only.
Read more about that in the Install Outlook add-ins that use on-send artice.
Would Smart Alerts (in preview) help you achieve your goal here?
Note, you can specify SendMode option in the manifest for a Smart Alert. There are three options available - PromptUser, SoftBlock and Block. With the SoftBlock option, if the add-in is unavailable (for example, there's an error loading the add-in), the item will be sent.
We have recently migrated email service from pop to AWS workmail (IMAP).
We are facing a number of issues which are listed below.
Unable to configure Workmail email client on Android devices as
Exchange.
Unable to change Account type from POP to IMAP in Outlook.
When a new account is configured in outlook, it is taking too much time
in synchronizing folders and new account.
Taking too much time in sending emails and mostly emails remain in
outbox.
Multiple accounts in Outlook are showing email address as the account
name on the left pane of Home tab.
Here is the fix/solution of each issue.
Unable to configure Workmail email client on Android devices as
Exchange.
For IOS devices AWS workmail is configured as Exchange account, but for Android devices, it is configured as Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.

Unable to change Account type from POP to IMAP in Outlook.
There is no way to change account type from POP to IMAP or vice-versa.
Follow below steps in outlook.
File>>Open Export>>Export-Export existing email account as PST file.
Delete existing Email Account from Outlook
Configure New mail account as IMAP Account.
File>>Open Export>>Import-Import Pst file again.
Below is a detailed Link to Change Account type in Outlook
When a new account is configured in outlook, it is taking too much time
in synchronizing folders and new account.
Taking too much time in sending emails and mostly emails remain in
outbox.
First-time account configuration will take time, as it will sync all emails and folders in outlook client (depending on the number of emails). In IMAP folders have subscription and unsubscription, the more folders you have in your outlook email account; more time it will take to sync. Sync of mail client always keep-on syncing, that’s the reason email is displayed instantly as it arrives in IMAP. What you can do is, that keep those folders unsubscribed which are not very active and whenever you need those folders, you can subscribe them again.
How to Subscribe/Unsubscribe folders:
Right Click Inbox>>IMAP Folders
Click Query
It will show the subscription/subscription status of all folders. You can subscribe/unsubscribe as per your need.
Click Apply
Press OK
Now last: Changing account names.
Multiple accounts in Outlook are showing email address as an account
name on left pane of Home tab.
Follow below steps in Outlook.
Go to File > Options > Advanced > Click on Send/Receive…
Press the Edit.
Select your Outlook.com/Hotmail account on the left.
Press the Account Properties.
Type the display name for your account on the General tab.

If you use outlook, consider to connect to workmail via microsoft protocols, which will give you a much better user experience (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workmail/latest/userguide/outlook-start.html)
No email notification is sending from my RM system on releases.
Following things has been done:
Smtp setting has been updated in the system
Enabled approver notification in 'Acceptance step' and 'validation step'.
Email id is updated and 'Receive email notification' is 'Yes' for the approver and validator. The user are release managers.
Did I missed anything? Why emails are not sending?
That looks right. Enable the logs on the server side to see if any errors are thrown.
I would double check the SMTP settings. Username/password are obvious possible mistake, but depending on your SMTP requirement, you might need to specified a valid email address from your domain as the sender address.
Thank you for the answer Joerage. SMTP setting was not working in the TFS server...!
I faced one more issue with the notification mail. View request link was opening old url of release management site...! Earlier I upgraded the RM server and client, after that changed the url also.
Again I lost couple of minutes to find out the problem.
The url is configure in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Release Management\services\web.config" file under setting "ApprovalRequestEmailLanding". I changed the value to correct url and it's working...! This could be a bug in the release management system.
May be this will be helpful for someone.
I would like to know if there is a service out there which can give me imap settings for a given email address. Thunderbird and Android mail clients does a good job if fetching the imap setting automatically when you give the email address.
If you are using popular mail provider (gmail,hotmail, etc) The imap settings are just chosen based on the domain of the email.
If you have your own server, it can't fetch the settings.
To continue on Lauri's answer., it can guess. If you have an email at #example.com, it will try common things like, mail.example.com, imap.example.com, pop.example.com, smtp.example.com. etc. It's all heuristics.
I can't get TFS 2010 to send email alerts. I've tried setting up everything mentioned here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/how-to-configure-tfs-notifications-in-team-foundation-server-2010.aspx
It's configured to send to a local IIS SMTP instance. SharePoint 2010 is on the same box and is also configured to use the same local SMTP server and it works fine sending emails, no problem. It's also using the same "from" email address as TFS is configured to without issue.
TFS isn't even trying to send anything as far as I can tell - I don't see anything from it in the SMTP log (C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\SMTPSVC1...).
I have the default "My Work Items changed" alert set up and enabled. I try logging in as another user, assigning a work item to me, then assigning it back...nothing happens...no email. I don't see any error in the event viewer from TFS.
What can I do to troubleshoot this?
I had added alerts in Alert Explorer without specifying any Team Project. Once I added the Team Project filter it started working.
Try other method,
I configure the Email using Gmail Account and it is working very well, try it! if you would like? see this link for steps how you can do it?

Or else you can go with the option of relay mail. Create a local SMTP server and relay it with the main mail server.
Note : If you mail server requires advanced authentication then you need to follow the second option only.
I actually wanted to add this answer to give ppl an idea of what to look for when they come across 'why doesn't the email get sent out'. The reason i came across this thread was for the same reason, it seemed that tfs wasn't sending out the email. But it was! the problem turned out to be the 'group' that I was sending the email to wasn't permitted to receive email. here is the situation, TFS server located at a DATA CENTER. The email ALERTS that i configured were to a group in our local office DOMAIN.
Apparently,in Active Directory that group didn't have the "All users need to be authenticated" checked OFF. Meaning, the TFS server 'sender of the email' wasn't authenticated to send emails to that group. once i sat with my MIS guys, they finally noticed that was checked on, and once DISABLED. Problem fixed! Hope that helps someone.
