Agent Mail / Outlook 2003 Catch 22
Jan 30, 2006
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 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.
The report is:
Delivered by: Report Server E-mail
Include Report is checked
Render Format is Web archive
Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance.

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 ?
Thanks in advance,
Walker

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

Myself and a user have the same issue which is when we hit forward and type our reply, spell check checks the entire email. I want it to just check what I wrote.
We both have Ignore original message text in reply or forward checked off under, Tools, Options & Spelling
This does not help.

Hello and Thank You in advance:
I would like to Use the SQL Tab in the Filter Selection of the View-Modify Current View Option in Outlook 2003.
I am specifically trying to create a statement that only displays those Contacts that have a Modified Date that is different than the Created date. In other words I want to view all the records that have been modified at any time after the date of their creation.
I have been unable to create a SQL statement that compares the Created and Modified fields in the Contacts. Would you please explain and show what the correct syntax is in order to compare the values of two fields within a given Contact?
These are all examples of what I have tried and that have not worked. I cannot find documentation for this anywhere only small articles here and there that are not enough for me to develop a complete answer from:
(("urnchemas:calendar:created" >= '1/1/2001 12:00 AM' AND
"urnchemas:calendar:created" <= '12/31/2001 12:00 AM')
AND ("urnchemas:calendar:created" <> "urnchemas:calendar:lastmodified" ))
("urnchemas:calendar:created" <> "urnchemas:calendar:lastmodified" )
(("urnchemas:calendar:created" >= '1/1/2001 12:00 AM' AND
"urnchemas:calendar:created" <= '12/31/2001 12:00 AM') AND
("DAV:getlastmodified" >= '1/1/2001 12:00 AM' AND
"DAV:getlastmodified" <= '12/31/2007 12:00 AM'))
("urnchemas:calendar:created" <> "DAV:getlastmodified")
("DAV:getlastmodified" <> "urnchemas:calendar:created")
("DAV:getlastmodified" <> 'urnchemas:calendar:created')
("urnchemas:calendar:created" <> 'DAV:getlastmodified')

Just recently my SQL server agent has been causing problems with my Outlook. When the Agent is started, it causes all processes on Outlook to hang. As soon as I stop the Agent, then Outlook works just fine again. Does anyone know a possible cause for this. Up until a couple days ago things were working just fine, and then this problem seems to have popped out of nowhere.

Wondering if there is a different way to setup mail because of Windows Server 2003 instead of Windows Server 2000? The server I'm being asked to get mail working on will have an exchange email account and I'm not familiar with setting this up. On my 2000 machine I had to use Outlook 2000 with option for Corporate or Workgroup an a POP email account. Any help is appreciated.

I have been reading everything i can find regarding sql mail and sqlagent mail.We have a win2k server, sql 2000 and NO, NO, NO exchange server(all upto date on service packs).I have tried repeatadly for days to make this work, and have had noluck so far.1. I have a valid profile that tests fine in sql agent and via sqlmail test buttons.2. I have logged in to the box under that new domain account toinstall outlook and configure all the remaining options.3. I have set both the mssqlserver service and the sqlserveragentservice to run under the domain account that coincides with our pop3email server, and restarted both of them.4. I have installed outlook 2002, and I can send and receive emailsjust fine from our sql server.5. As soon as I try to test an email from within a job, the testfails.All I wanted to do was just be notified if a job fails. The amount oftime lost on what should have been a 30 minute project isunbelievable!!!If anyone has some suggestions, other than the obvious, please let meknow.Thanks,Dave

I have a C# program that sends an e-mail with an Excel attachment. The Excel file is populated with the results of a SQL stored procedure before the e-mail program is executed. The entire process is in a DTS package (populate a temporary table, export the table to Excel, then send the e-mail). It is possible that the stored procedure will return no results, in which case the Excel file will not be populated.I'd like to know whether it is possible (and if so, how) to add some code to my e-mail program that will count the number of populated rows in the Excel file and if that number is <2 (the header row will always be populated), to quit and not send the e-mail.
An alternative would be for the DTS package to terminate if the stored procedure returns 0 records.
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm having trouble with a Script Component in a data flow task. I have code that does a SqlCommand.ExecuteReader() call that throws an 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' error. Thing is, the SqlCommand.ExecuteReader() call is already inside a Try..Catch block. Essentially I have two questions regarding this error:
a) Why doesn't my Catch block catch the exception?
b) I've made sure that my SqlCommand object and the SqlConnection property that it uses are properly instantiated, and the query is correct. Any ideas on why it is throwing that exception?
Hope someone could help.

I setup a domain user account and e-mail account for the sql agent. When I want the agent to mail me a message
when something happens it puts it in the out box but does not send until I pull up the outlook express and ping the server to send recieve.
If I don't have outlook express running in the taskbar, it won't send the message at all. The e-mail is configured as an internet mail component.
Any suggestions??

I have a daily task set up to email a report to me. When I go to look at the jobs it says it is still executing after a number of hours. I Can't stop the job with out stopping SQL Agent. I can't stop SQL Mail. If I stop the SQL Agent I can't start it again. I try to open Outlook (98) but it won't open either. Can't view the properties of Outlook either. Only way to cure this is to reboot the server. The account we are using to start SQL and SQL Agent is a FDomain Admins account. When I try to log off the server I get and error message saying olemainthreadwndname is not responding. Any help would be very much appreciated.

My sql agent mail suddenly stops working. The mails are usually going to the people. But once in a while I have this wierd problem of mails not reaching the recipients. Happens once in 2-3 weeks, starts working fine if I restart the server. When I open the Outlook client, the outbox is also empty, but still the mails are not gone.
If I Test the mail profile in the sql agent properties, it gives time out error. Everything becomes okay if I restart the server.
OS: Win 2K sp4
Server : SQL 2000 SP3
Account : Verified that the account is in Administrator Group
There is only one MAPI32.DLL file and is in system32 folder.
The wierd part is everything works if I restart..any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,I've been able to successfully configure SQL Server Agent to sendnotification emails to an appropriate Operator in the event of an alertbeing fired. This all works fine on one condition - that Outlook clientis running on the server.If Outlook is not running the alerts still be fired (i.e. the OccuranceRate still increases as and when expected), but the emails beinggenerated will not be sent until the next time Outlook is opened.Clearly it's unwise to rely on Outlook being open on the server at alltimes, so I was wondering if anyone knows of a workaround to ensurethese emails are processed immediately?I'm using SQL Server 2000 SP4 and Outlook 2003.thanks,Bob.

Hi,
Wondering if anyone there can tell me what I'm doing wrong (and please be gentle as I'm not at all techy).
I have a DTS scheduled on the Server Agent to run, and at the end it is to send a mail to notify me and several others that it has completed. Trouble is, it runs but doesn't send the mail.
However if I execute the DTS manually it does send the mail.
I have a idea it might be to do with the Profile in SQL Mail in Server Settings on the Properties of the server, but have no idea how to correct this.
Can anybody help?

Here's the scoop, and I've seen several posts to this effect but none of the solutions have worked.
Enabled database mail. confirmed profiles and can send test database mail from Query Window. I can also right click Database mail and send test emails. Configured valid operator using same email address for the test emails above.
Enabled database mail profile under SQL Agent properties > Alert System.
From what I've seen, the test button is supposed to be greyed out, and it is. However alerts do not send emails operator.
I've done this
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186358(SQL.90).aspx
and this
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=322173&SiteID=1
and have bounced the Agent after each change but still no mail from the Agent.
I've tried select * from sys_mail_event_log no errors.
For the life of me, I can't see why the Agent won't send mail.
Help.

Using SQL 2005, SSIS, I have an SSIS package which is scheduled as a SQL Server Agent job. The package contains a Send Mail task. This task fails when SQL Agent runs the package. The task succeeds when executed interactively from the package, logged on as the SQL Agent service account. The package as a whole succeeds when executed from "Start Debugging". An Execute SQL Task in the same package containing an sp_send_dbmail statement succeeds when SQL Agent runs the job, and the same sp_send_dbmail succeeds in Mgmt Studio query window. All these events all logged onto the server as the SQL Server/SQL Agent service account.
I would appreciate ideas on what else to check for here, so that I can use the Send Mail SSIS task in packages which are run by SQL Agent jobs.
Thanks, Holly
