Azure DevOps: Not able to email Queries - azure

I have the Project administrator role in Azure Devops for the project I manage. I can do everything in my project except for emailing queries. Is there a specific role that is needed to be able to email Queries?
Things I tried:
Changing my roles - Didn't work as project administrator is already an elevated access
Sending to different emails - No effect. No email goes to any email within my organization

As I know project admin is enough to send email. So I think the issue is that the emails are blocked by receivers. You can create a new Outlook email and add it to project member to test that.
To view, run, or email a query, you must be granted Stakeholder access or higher.
You can only send the email to individual address for a project member that is recognized by the system. Adding a team group or security group to the to line isn't supported. If you add an email account that the system doesn't recognize, you receive a message that one or more recipients of your email don't have permissions to read the mailed work items.

Office 365 tenant to tenant email migration, enable mail users on new tenant for migration

I'm working off of Microsoft tenant to tenant migration preview as found here to move all our user email to a different tenant: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/cross-tenant-mailbox-migration?view=o365-worldwide
And I'm up to the step where I need to enable mail-users on the new tenant but nothing I have done so far has worked. I've been trying to use New-MailUsers to create a new external email address linked to the new user accounts but get an error that the proxy address is already in place so I have tried using the Set-User <identity> -PermanentlyClearPreviousMailboxInfo but that just says that it completed but nothing was changed.
I do have the new users created on the new tenant, and a couple of them are already licensed for mailboxes but the above does not work for either licensed nor unlicensed users.
Do I need to delete the user accounts completely and then try using the New-MailUsers to setup the external email address link for the new account? Or is there some step I'm missing somewhere?
Trying to make new mail enabled user
Trying to remove mailbox settings
The PowerShell error says that there is already a mailbox with that SMTP.
When you assign licenses, new mailboxes get provisioned. You need to remove everything, set up mail users with an exchangeGUID first, and then assign licenses.
From the article you referenced:
Users in the target organization must be licensed with appropriate Exchange Online subscriptions applicable for the organization. You may apply a license in advance of a mailbox move but ONLY once the target MailUser is properly set up with ExchangeGUID and proxy addresses. Applying a license before the ExchangeGUID is applied will result in a new mailbox provisioned in target organization.

Kentico 10 Contact activity logged against previously logged out user

We have a Kentico 10 website using custom WIF authentication. That is all working fine. I can see that the authenticated user details match what is expected.
I tried enabling the online marketing - contact tracking and then discovered that even though I had logged out with one account and then logged in with another account the new user's activity was being logged as if the first user had performed it.
The only that works reliably is using a delete cookie plugin in chrome which isn't a good solution for production.
I tried expiring the existing cookies for the domain and then found after logging out and back in again with a new user that all the new activity was being logged as public anonymous user.
Is there anything I can add to signout or login to ensure that the correct Contact is being tracked against. Different users should be able to use the same browser logging out and back in again without this contact activity going against the wrong person.
The contact cookie is stored per user account on a computer. So if you're simply logging in and out of Kentico this activity will not change your contact cookie. Kentico sees you as the same contact even though you are authenticating with a different user account.
Kentico Contacts and Users are not synonymous although they can have a link to one another. So I'd expect if the user account with linked with a contact you may see different activity for that particular contact. The only way a contact is linked to a user account is if one of the 3 activities happen:
Registers on a website
Signs in with a user account
Fill in customer data while making a purchase
So even though you're doing #2, I'm guessing something unique is happening since you're doing some testing on the local machine. Check out the documentation about contacts and linking to user accounts. To test or see if a user is linked to a contact, go to Contact Management, manage a contact and click on the Membership>Users tab. If see a user account linked to the contact then that contact is linked. If you don't see one then that particular contact is not linked and you'll experience the issues you're explaining.

SharePoint Timer Job - Exception adding aspnet_users to security groups

I have created a custom timer job in share point 2007 which gets the list of email ids from the database and has to add it to security groups in share point.
I am getting exception "user not found" when i try to verify the user using spweb.ensureuser("emailid") or even add the user to group without verifying.
I have used web.allusers.getbyemail("emailid") as well but results in the same exception.
Also created owstimer.exe.config file with connection string and provider elements but no luck.
Any ideas?
spweb.ensureuser accepts either 1) Login of a user (not email) 2) a Display Name of a user that corresponds to some login. SharePoint has some "storages for logins" like AD or Forms Based Authentcation provider with an underlying services or a database. This means that what you use in spweb.ensureuser must already be found among your logins. you have to add users' logins to SharePoint and the emails will be uploaded automatically. if you want to use pure emails as logins you should learn about Claims Based Authentication in SharePoint and OpenIDs. There are several products which do that (I am not advertising any of'em :) ).

Send SharePoint Alert to Public Folder in Exchange

I created a list and setup alerts that send to several individuals when a new item is added to the list. However, I have one additional requirement to have an alert email sent to a Public Folder in Exchange.
The folder is setup with an email address, VSrequest#domain.com, but when I try to add that address into the "Send Alerts To" field (when creating a new alert), SharePoint returns an error: "No Exact match was found."
I thought about setting up the alert in a custom workflow through SharePoint designer, but is there a way to easily reuse the existing Alert Email as a template for the body of the custom alert?
Any other ideas or pointers would be greatly appreciated!
You can't send an alert to a regular email address (or mailbox) because it isn't associated with a user/group. If it isn't associated with a user/group then it can't have permissions to any list or list items in SharePoint. Finally, if it doesn't have permissions then it can't receive an alert (or that would be a pretty big security hole).
Probably the easiest method is what you mention: using a custom SharePoint designer workflow. It isn't going to be 100% the same but you can just copy the HTML from a previous alert and then try to fill in the data as much as you can in the workflow. (see here for an article describing almost exactly what you want).
As you've seen you can't setup an alert against a random email address - it has to be against a user (who has an email address).
So one option would be to create a domain user for VSrequest#domain.com - ensure they are in SharePoints user list (Site Settings > Users and Groups > All Users) then you will be able to setup the alert for that user which will go to that email address.
Other options include workflow as Kit mentions, Event Receivers or 3rd party software.

SharePoint Email Alerts

I'm having problem sending email alerts from a Discussion Board.
I've added all the work email to the Shared Service User profiles n SharePoint Central Administration area.
However, when I click on Alert Me I get the following error:
The following users do not have e-mail addresses specified: User Name. Alerts have been created successfully but these users will not receive e-mail notifications until valid e-mail addresses have been provided
Set my e-mail address...
Thanks to anyone who can help me...

Please check the email Ids to the users in the Active Directory
After changing the email Ids you need to do a user profile import in SSP
there is a timer job which sync user profile to site collection
