I ran into this situation today in our farm and figured while there is already a handy post<\/a> out there that outlines the fix. However, I figured I\u2019d share the background here as this will likely become a more common scenario going forward with more and more businesses looking to the cloud (Office 365 particularly) for their Exchange Plumbing while keeping SharePoint on Premise (that fancy word for \u201cin house\u201d).<\/p>\n

What<\/h2>\n

You attempt to define alerts or find you don\u2019t receive emails from workflow notifications.\u00a0 You get something similar to below when trying to define an alert:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And for the Search Engines\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sorry, something went wrong <\/span><\/p>\n

You do not have an e-mail address.
\nAlert has been created successfully but you will not receive notifications until valid e-mail or mobile address has been provided in your profile.<\/span><\/p>\n

So What<\/h2>\n

Annoying!<\/p>\n

Now What<\/h2>\n

There are several causes for this, I\u2019ll try and spit out the one\u2019s I can think of off the top of my head:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You don\u2019t have an email address (unlikely but possible if you live in a cave)<\/li>\n
  2. You don\u2019t have an email address defined in your Active Directory\u00a0 (unlikely but possible)<\/li>\n
  3. You don\u2019t have UPS configured properly with Profile Sync (entirely possible)<\/li>\n
  4. You don\u2019t have Exchange on Premise as you are using Office 365 or another email provider (a more likely scenario going forward)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For my situation\u2026<\/h3>\n

    We are shifting to Office 365 for email and don\u2019t use Exchange for hosting production mailboxes in our new domain.\u00a0 Because of this, the UPS Service doesn\u2019t get wired up in the \u201ctypical\u201d way you might desire to synchronize your email account settings with the User Profile Service.\u00a0 So for this I needed to:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Follow this helpful post<\/a><\/li>\n
    2. Because I\u2019m impatient, run this timer job (in Central Admin) – User Profile Service – User Profile to SharePoint Full Synchronization<\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
