SQL Mail ERROR in SQL 2005 Pleas Assist

  • I cannot open the sql mail properties

    I do have MS Outlook set up sa the default mail

    Im running Oulook 2000

    I do have the Stored Proc xp_get_mail_profile

    Keep getting this error:

    Cannot show requested dialog

    If a stored procedure could not be found, SQL mail may not be installed in the instance

    xp_get_mapi_profile: Either there is no default mailclient or the current mailclient cannot fullfill the messaging reques. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client.

    (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 7930)

    ------------------------------------------------------

    If I use xp_startmail

    get the following error:

    Msg 17930, Level 16, State 1, Line 0

    xp_startmail: Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client.

     

  • try using database mail instead of sql mail. database mail is easy to use ad configure.
