Sometimes, when trying to create an alert in SharePoint you receive the following error message:<\/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<\/em><\/p>\n

The obvious things to check here are the outgoing mail server settings in Central Administration.<\/p>\n
