Alert me doesnt automatically updates the email address

[Marc Soester]

Hi Guys,
( I guess this is more a WSS question, but you may have encountered this as
well)
Within the my workspace, lets say in Issues, I want to set the "alert me". I
know that based on the active directory my email name under "Send Alerts To"
should be recognised automatically, but it is not.

I checked the active directory and my email name is included, I checked the
User entry within PWA and it also has an email.

Any idea why it doesnt recognise the mail automatically?
no big drama, but the customer wants it and hey, customer is king
