SQL Mail Doesn''t see any profiles....

  • Hi,

    I have just created a mail profile using the sql server service account and succesfully sent mail to my account from outlook. The problem is when I try to configure SQLMail I don't get any profiles to select from the dropdoen. If I manually key in the name it says that it can't find a profile of that name. Does nyone know what I need to do to get the profiles available???

  • You need to check the account you used to start SQL server and/agent which should be same as what you used to create the outlook client.

  • Have you rebooted the server since you installed Outlook? Whenever I do a new install of Outlook I have to do that before SQL Server will see it.

  • I have it working now. I had to go into internet options in control panel and set outlook as the default mail client. Somehow outlook express was the default....

  • I have had that happen too. SQLMail is way too quirky in my opinion. I haven't played with it yet, but I hope SQL 2005 is more robust in this area.
