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.

There is a Websphere liberty server (linux) and I'm planning to configure outlook mails on that server for triggering a script upon receiving a specific type of email.
How can we make this possible?
Based on your description, I could see doing this at least two ways. You could consider using a Outlook script rule. If that won't work, you'll have to write an application that runs on Liberty, connects to Outlook and checks for new mail. If found, you'll have to parse the mail to determine if it meets your criteria and if so, invoke your script.
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.
I'm having an issue, I have an On-Premise CRM Dynamics environment with Server Side synchronization, the sync works fine.
When creating appointments the System Users receive a meeting invite, but this is not sent to contacts in the system (even though some of them are emails from the same AD).
Is there an error log I can check, or some extra configuration needed in exchange server for it to work?
P.S. I'm attaching the current configuration.
When using server side synchronization, the account used as part of the authentication setup must have elevated permissions to send email on behalf of others or you need to modify the user's settings to allow others to send emails on their behalf, this could be what is causing the issue, also could you open up the emails that were not sent, they should also have an error message describing why the sending the email failed.
Scenario:
I'm building a Windows 8 App which is outside of Windows Store. Here I wish to receive notifications using WNS. I have a Publisher which will generate events based on the user action on UI (Ex: Like Uploading a file, Once file upload is completed the event will be generated). I created a internal WCF Service(End Point) which will subscribe to the publisher and listens to the notifications sent by the Publisher. I'm integrating my Listener to WNS service in turn, once notifications are received by the listener, in turn will be sent to WNS Service to process and deliver to specific Device.
Here my question is in order to avail WNS service , do I need to keep my app in Windows Store ?? Is it mandatory ???
And Is their any way to implement push notifications in Windows 8 without using WNS Service????
Please clarify me on this.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

An app that needs to use the Windows Push Notifications Service (WNS) will also need to be present in the store. For an app to use WNS, it needs to register with the store app portal, which provides an app with a package security identifier (SID) and secret key, which are required to authenticate with and use WNS.
Windows Store Apps that need push notifications can only use WNS.
Traditional desktop applications are not able to use WNS, although they could implement their own version of push notifications.
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.
