How to configure a mail profile (Windows)

To configure a mail profile

1. Log on to the Microsoft® Windows NT® 4.0 or Microsoft Windows® 2000 server by specifying the name and password used to start Microsoft SQL Server™ services.
   
   
2. In Control Panel, double-click the Mail icon to create and configure or copy an existing mail profile. Select the appropriate mail service to interact with your mail host. Choose a name for the profile that will help the recipient identify the messages.
   
   
3. On the instance of SQL Server, start the mail client using the newly created mail profile.
   
   
4. Send a message addressed to the same profile name to ensure that the mail client, mail profile, and e-mail provider are working properly.

   If your e-mail message does not appear, you may need to establish mail synchronization by going to the Tools menu and then clicking Deliver Now.
