I am having problems getting the team alerts to work in TFS 2010.
Under "Team > Project Alerts", I have checked the box to send both myself and a colleague an email upon a completed build. I know I have entered the correct email addresses, correct syntax as far as separating the emails, yet neither I nor my colleague receive any emails when the build is complete.
So far, I haven't found anything online regarding troubleshooting this issue. I was wondering if anyone has encountered the same problem or otherwise knows of a solution to this problem.

We can enable email alerts by configuring the SMTP server for TFS. Open TFS Administration Console, select Application Tier and click “Alert Settings”. Provide the SMTP detail; for the purpose of the demo, we have used Gmail.
You can customize the format of email notifications, or alerts, that team members subscribe to. These notifications are sent when changes occur to work items, code reviews, source control files, and builds.
TFS notifications are useful in sending alerts when a work item is changed, the build is completed, build property changed etc.
Usually this boils down to a configuration problem within the TFS setup.
If you have access to the tfs server, run the TFS Administration Console.
If you click on TFS / Application Tier on the left, you'll see the Application Tier settings come up. Scroll down to the Email Alert Settings.
Make sure it's enabled and has the correct configuration for sending messages.
