Adding e-mail address to sharepoint users

Question

I'm using sharepoint server 2007 on windows server 2003. The users in my sharepoint site are local users on my server.
I like to use the notifications option in sharepoint but I can't find where I can add an e-mail address in sharepoint. Editing the account in sharepoint only lets me add a file. All other users field (i.e. e-mail at work) cannot be entered. 
 
How can I add an e-mail address?

Thanks

Answer 1

A few things...

1)  Ad an administrator goto - site settings -> site administration -> view site collection user information
2) Click on a user
3) edit user info and add an email address.

If that doesn't work look into this page...

Are any email notifications going out at all?  Just wondering if SMTP is installed, you have out going emails servers configured in Central Admin and make sure your firewall isn't blocking post 25.

I can find the settings you describe above, however only 2 users are showing there. I cannot explain why. It is showing the administrator account and one account (account1) I created locally on my server. The other 2 accounts I created locally on my server are not there. I don't see why as I created these users the same way as account1. Same group (users) added to the account.

Any ideas why this could be happening? I cannot find the answer on the link you provided.

Thanks.

Hi,

 

From your post, it seems that your SharePoint server works under stand-alone mode.

 

For SharePoint stand-alone type, there is no profile import connection by default. You need to create a profile import file connect and start a full import, then check the effect. You need to make sure these users have their own e-mail addresses in Active Directory or other directory.

 

For more information about import user profile information in SharePoint server 2007, please refer to the following articles:

 

How to import user profile information of enabled user accounts from Active Directory to SharePoint Portal Server 2003 or Office SharePoint Server 2007

Hope this helps.
