I'm trying to set up Sql Mail using Outlook 2000 and the only way I can get a message sent is to have the Outlook client open at the time I start Sql Mail. Sql Mail will start regardless of the profile chosen even if it is blank, but if the Outlook client was not running at the time I started Sql Mail then while executing xp_sendmail I get "Server: Msg 17914, Level 18, State 1, Line 0 Unknown recipient: Parameter '@recipients', recipient 'jcorriveau@homeruns.com'"
Regardless of the Outlook client status or profile setup when performing a MAPI profile test, <SQL MAIL><Properties><Test>, I receive "SQL-DMO(ODBC SQLState: 42000) Error 22030: A MAPI error(error number 273) occurred.:Unable to get the default MAPI Message Store due to MAPI error 273:The information store could not be opened."
I've setup Sql Mail and Outlook 97/98 clients in the past and have not had to have the client open when starting Sql Mail. I've read most of the technet and knowledge base articles and the only ref I can find to this problem is a note in Q248431 "note that outlook 2000 or another configured MAPI client must be started before xp_startmail is executed." Was this the case in Outlook 97/98?
The Exchange server is in another domain. I think it's version 5.5. I'm using my domain account and profile to setup Sql Mail. I can send and receive mail fine using Outlook 2000. There is a Password dialog box that appears when starting the Outlook client prompting for User Name, Domain Name, and Password. I have not been able to create a profile that gets around this dialog box. Is this an Exchange server setting? If so, is it a server wide setting or can it be disabled per mail account?
Any help with this will be appreciated. Thanks, Jim
I'm trying to make SQLMail work. I have installed Microsoft Outlook 98 with MSSQL 7.0 on a NT Server 4.0 with Service Pack 6. I have set a profile for a user with admin rights to start a service. I can successfully start up with SQL with this account. When I try to start up SQL Mail it comes back with this error:
DESCRIPTION: Error: 0, Severity: 19, State: 0 SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 34 generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process.
With another dialog box: Error 22030: A MAPI Error (error number: 87) occured:
Can any one Help?? Do I need reapply the service pack??
We do not have any licenses for MS Outlook and our main e-mail client is GroupWise. Someone has told me that we should be able to use the Outlook Express client to activate SQL Mail. Is this true; if so how is it done. If not does it make since to put the GroupWise client on the SQL Server ?
Hi, I had a question. Is is good to configure Outlook Express as my default mail client for SQL Mail. I had to do this as Outlook 98 was not responding and there was couple of other problems.
I've just installed and configured outlook 2003 with sql agent mail and I've come across a strange conundrum: messages from agent mail are not actually sent unless the outlook client is open, but the default mail folder is locked by agent when agent is started, thus preventing outlook 2003 from opening. If I try things the other way - opening the client and then configuring/restarting agent mail - then agent mail can't access the default mail folder because the client has it locked.
There doesn't seem to be any way to win here.
Anyone come across this issue and found a workaround?
I would like to configure e-mail alerts on my SQL Server 2000 box.However, we also run Exchange on the same machine. I've been told therecould be conflicts/issues having Outlook on the same machine asExchange; and apparently, one needs Outlook to configure a mail profilefor SQL Server Agent.Is there, in fact, anything to worry about? If so, are there anywork-arounds beside moving Exchange to another server? (we've only gotone server, so this is not an option for us at this time).Thanks.- Dana
I'm sending data from a simple query using xp_sendmail and the @query variable to send via Outlook 2000. Everthing is fine data-wise, but the font of the data is wrong in the e-mail causing the columns of data to be justified all over the place.
I would like it to send in 'courier new' font to fix this problem, but SQL server defaults to use plain txt so the e-mail client receiving the information is not forced to use the font and uses its own default (which again throws the alignment out). I need to make it use the 'Rich Text' format to enforce this but SQL seems to bypass this when sending via sp_sendmail.
I know this is more an Outlook problem, but it is the way SQL 2000 uses it that is my issue here
I have a Reporting Services 2005 report that is emailed to users. I created/formatted the report based on how it looked in Outlook 2003 which all of our users had at that time. The report is wide, but just fit in the email window when it was full size. Now I have a user who has been converted to Outlook 2007 and he emailed me a copy of the report he received in Outlook 2007 and it looks like it reduced the column sizes; it does not fill the entire email window and wraps the wording on most lines because the column sizes have been reduced.
Hi, I have created a profile named sqlmail in exchange server. I tried to run the sql mail service from support service under sql mail to put the profile name, I got the following error: can any one assist me in setting up sql mail in an sql server 2000. .... thanks Ali

I am playing around with SQL Mail on my home network. I have SQL Server loaded on my server (Windows 2000 Advanced Server) and I have two XP Professional machines. I have the Outlook client installed on my XP machines. I do not have an Exchange Server. Can I configure SQL mail without an Exchange Server? If I can, How do I do it. I appreciate the feedback.
I really need details because I have been tying everything.
Having problems setting up mail under SQL Server 2000. Here is scenario:
1. computer logged in under DOMAINCoolUser (member of Administrators group) 2. SQL Server and SQL Agent Service started under DOMAINCoolUser 3. Mail profile created called CoolUser and messages delivered to Mailbox - CoolUser 4. Successfully sending and receiving messages from Exchange Client 5. net use mailserverIPC$ is returning success
Problem A. I don't see the profile in the dropdown box Problem B. If I specify the profile manually and test I get the following errro: Error 18025: xp_test_mapi_profile: failed with error 0x80040106
I can't find the start option and the check box which says auto start when sql agent starts in 2000.
In sql 7.0 it was pretty simple to configure the mail.
First configure the MAPI, then restore the same in sql agent test it then go to suport service then right click on sql mail and select the profile and click start button there before this test the profile i know we had options such as auto start sqlmail when sql agent starts as well as start and stop in support service..
My problem is i don't see either of these information nor can i find the same..i tried everywhere but they seem to be lost some where..Can some let me know what exactly is the process to start and stop sqlmail in 2000.
I have an SQL 2000 default instance. On windows server 2003 sp1 machine that is joined to a domain. This windows is not the domain controller.
There is a domain account domainuser. This domain account is a member of the Administrators group locally in the windows. Also this domain account is a member of SysAdmin fixed server role of the SQL Server instance. The MSSQLSERVER service is logged in by this domain account. The SQLSERVERAGENT service is also logged in by this domain account.
This domain account has a mail account at Exchange 2007 server.
Office 2007 (including outlook 2007) is installed on the same windows server machine that SQL resides in.
In Control Panel - Mail - Profiles: Outlook is the profile used.
In enterprise manager --> Support Services --> SQL Mail --> Properties --> I wrote Outlook in the profile name --> then click "Test" --> I encounter this error: "Error 18025: xp_test_mapi_profile: failed with mail error 0x80040111"
Iam not sure why Iam not able to successfully set up sql mail. here are the steps I follow:
1. I Created a user account and password to be used for sql server and sql agent as a service account.( Domain Namesqlservice ) 2. Logged off window 2000 then log in with the same account I created in step one. 3. double clicked mail icon in control panel to set up a mail account by specifying the following: pop :pop.erols.com smtp: smtp.erols.com I choose POP instead of IMAP to set up the mail account 4.tested the account by opening Outlook and was able to send and recieve mail via Outlook.
So far so good I assume that I have already (a)created a service account to be used for sql server and sql agen mail account (b) created a mail account (c)tested the mail. 5. I opened sql server and clicked on the mail in the management console to test the sql mail by typing the same mail account in the text box, then clicking test.... I got an error message the MAPI is not set up and it is not connecting to any profile.
another error I got was Error :xp_mapi profile : failed with mail error 0x80040106 Here are some questions that I am not sure about. Q1. Do I need to set up smtp service in service tab to use same account as sql server/ sql agent. It is using local system account now Q2. the above steps are correct, I guess so, so what is the reason not being able to set up the mail profile to be used by sql server mail
We just got a new server. We are running Windows 2000 with Office 2000 and SQL Server 2000 (Standard Edition).
To set up the mail for SQL 2000 it says to use Outlook client in "corporate" mode. This mode doesn't have the IMAP option on internet Mail only POP3.
Did I miss an option while installing Outlook? I've only been able to find a third party vendor that has a solution but our IS/IT people are not in favour of going this route.
I want some ides rearding sending mail at specified time. I want to send mail at everyday 3:00AM from SQL Server. I have stored procedure to send mail.
I have an SQL 2000 sp4 default instance. On windows server 2003 sp2 machine that is joined to a domain. This windows is not the domain controller.

Also this domain account is a member of SysAdmin fixed server role of the SQL Server instance. The MSSQLSERVER service is logged in by this domain account. The SQLSERVERAGENT service is also logged in by this domain account.
Office 2007 (including outlook 2003) is installed on the same windows server machine that SQL resides in.

Hello, I am using a script to send mails from MSSQL 2000 server. The script is trying to use the ASPMail object is located within a SQL Job or DTS package in the SQL database. It is not being run through an ASP page. The ASPMail object works fine if running in an ASP page running on win2003 server. It DOES NOT work when trying to create the object within SQL ActiveX VB script running on mssql server. If I am using this script in a job and use Microsoft's Enterprise Manager it only tells me that the job failed. If I try to use this script in a DTS package I get the error: 'Can not create object ("SMTPsvg.Mailer"). If I use a third database manager I get the following error: 'Execute permission denied on object xp_ServiceControl database' Please let me know what is causing this and how to fix it. The script goes as below '************************************************* ' Visual Basic ActiveX Script '************************************************* Dim Mailer Set Mailer = CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer") Mailer.FromName = "Webmaster" Mailer.FromAddress = "webmaster@domainname.com" Mailer.RemoteHost = "mail.domainname.com" Mailer.AddRecipient "user", "mailid@domainname.com" Mailer.Subject = "Test ASP Mail" Mailer.BodyText = "Test" x = Mailer.SendMail Set Mailer = Nothing Any help is appreciated Regards

I've set up DB mail and sent a test e-mail and that comes through fine.
I set up an Operator with email Name: DWhelpton@k-and-s.com;MWeaver@k-and-s.com
I created a job and set up the notifications to e-mail the operator on failure.
When the job runs and fails, I do not get an e-mail and I get the following exception in the db mail log:

On our SQL 7.0 servers we have always used Outlook 97 as our mail client and until last week we've had no issues with this setup.
A week ago a number of the servers with this set up started hanging on jobs with mail statments using xp_sendmail and the only solution was to reboot the server. All the servers use the same NT account and the same mail box for the mail. I've talked with our Exchange guys and they say that nothing has changed on the mail server. I found a Q article (Q315886) that suggests starting sql as an application not a service to see if pop ups could be causing the problem. Well no pop ups.
I installed Outlook 2000 on the boxes and that seems to have fixed it. Or at least no problems today with those servers.
Has anyone seen this before or have any idea what might be the cause of it?
I am using nt4.0 sp5 with sql7.0 sp3 and exchange client. Does anyone know how to keep xp_sendamil form putting a copy of the mail message in the sent mail folder or an automated process for deleting all mail in the sent folder? As it stands now I must manually delete all messages from the sent mail folder on a daily basis.
