Configuring SQL Mail

SQL Mail must run using a mail profile created in the same domain account that is used to start an instance of Microsoft® SQL Server™. Under the Support Services folder in SQL Server Enterprise Manager, you can see a graphical depiction of the SQL Mail Service and determine if the service is running. You can start SQL Mail automatically by clicking Autostart SQL Mail when SQL Server Starts on the General tab of the SQL Mail Configuration dialog box. After SQL Mail starts, you can use the stored procedures to send and receive mail.
