We are using Microsoft Test Manager to test the applications, how we can configure the emails alerts for MTM activities (Test case, test suite status ...)
Thanks in advance
MTM is a kind of client for TFS. It doesn't have any email alerts setting. All email alerts are configured in TFS.
To get an email notification when Test case status changes:
In TFS admin console, configure a SMTP server for Email Alert setting.
Follow this link to create a personal or team alert. Add a Alert filter: State Changes.

Seeking for an help to address the issue
We followed these guides in an attempt to turn on email/text alerts for TFS work items when they are updated or changed:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181334.aspx
FTA: From a web browser, connect to your team project and open alerts management (My alerts from your profile menu). If you don't see this option, then you must configure an SMTP server to support TFS.
We didn't see the option, so we followed the guide to set up a smtp server using this guide here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms400808.aspx
FTA: To verify your configuration, open alerts management. You might need to refresh your browser to see this option if you just recently enabled an SMTP server.
We've sent a successful test email through the administration area but we can't verify because the users are not seeing the "My Alerts" option to set up their own alerts in the online portals.
Is there something else we need to do that is not included in the guide to set these up?
If you go to the following URL on your TFS server: https://nakedalm.visualstudio.com/DefaultCollection/Democorp/_admin/_alerts (replacing the server with yours) you should see your Alerts
I've set up a forward mailbox in Dynamics CRM 2013 using the new server profile features and I an alert when performing the test and enable action. The error I am receiving is "The location of the mailbox [name] could not be determined while receiving email.".
The server profile is connected to an Office 365 and appears to be working fine for a user mailbox.
Has anyone else come across this problem?
The problem turned out to be with Office 365's auto discover.
Setting the Email Server Profiles incoming and outgoing address to https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx manually solved the problem.
I don't know if this was a local or remote issue.
I want to send an email if the build fails to the developers, with the fail details. I'm also wants to send a success email to the project admins, etc with the address to the new test application.
What is the proper tool to send the actual mail, TeamCity or NAnt?
You could use Nant to send email, but TeamCity is more appropriate, as it can provide a centralized place for notifications, including emails.
(source: jetbrains.net)
TeamCity provides a wide range of notification possibilities to keep developers informed about the status of their projects.
Notifications can be sent by:
e-mail,
Jabber/XMPP instant messages or
can be displayed in the IDE (with the help of TeamCity plugins) or
the Windows system tray (using TeamCity Windows tray notifier).
Each user can select the events to receive notifications for on My Settings And Tools page. The notification messages can be customized globally on per-server basis.
So it is not just about how to send the mail, but also how to manage the notification process, from the server and from the client perspective.
I'm Creating a workflow that needs to send the users an email on set events. This I don't have a problem with. However can someone please confirm if you need the local windows SMTP service installed or if I can use another method for it to send the emails.
UPDATE
Ok I've just read about the E-mail Router, just need to find out where it is, and how to get to the configuration settings.
UPDATE
Update 2
Right, Iv'e looked into it and the e-mail router configuration is not used on this CRM set-up, it used an Outlook Add-in which I cant find a lot of into on.
However it appears to work flawlessly.
end update 2
Thanks
AFAIK, Microsoft CRM uses Exchange server to send out emails. Haven't you configured this during setup?
You are right that the Email Router is the way to enable outbound emails from Dynamics CRM. If you haven't done so already, I strongly encourage you to download the Dynamics CRM Implementation Guide. You can jump right to the section called "Planning e-mail integration" to read about it.
What you need to do is configure the e-mail router to operate with a POP3/SMTP server. You can use Windows Server's SMTP service for that. You can use almost any service - i have configured it to work with my gmail account, for instance.
Here are three good articles that you can read to learn more about the e-mail router.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM: How to configure the On-premise and Online E-mail Router in different deployment scenarios
Now when you configure an email from a workflow, CRM will automatically forward it out through the router to your SMTP email account.
It looks like there are at least two options, one which uses the SMTP or exchange. And another which is an outlook plugin. Which syncs the emails with the owners outlook and then sends out the emails.
EDIT
So the two options which both work are:
Email Router - This appears to be the standard and can use various email servers
Outlook add-in - This sends email based on the owner/email settings in the CRM record.
This works with any email CRM wants to send, and even works with workflows.
I've not got to the bottom of why the outlook add-in has been used at this site, however the workflow functions appear to run without problem, and seamlessly to the owner/user.
