I would like to get email notifications whenever a check in is done into Team Server. We have Team foundation server 2005. Is there a way to do that there? I know that the 2008 version has such a feature.

A:
In VS 2005, on your Team menu (you need to connect to Team Explorer to get the Team menu), you should have a Project Alerts... item. This includes the option to be emailed whenever Anything is checked in.
edit
to check settings server side, look at your SMTP settings in the web.config in (somewhere like) C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server\Web Services\Services . More here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms400808.aspx

Thank you very much ! I don't know how I didn't see that option before... But I'm not getting any emails... Could it be a problem in the server?

Yes, your server is probably not configured correctly. The SMTP settings listed by AakashM are a good place to start looking. If that doesn't help, run the "best practices analyzer" from the TFS Power Tools.

Maybe you need to install the Team Foundation Server Power Tools to edit alerts!
