I have a question on SQLMail and SQLAgentMail. I have read through sqlguru's article "SQLMail in Depth" (http://www.sqlteam.com/item.asp?ItemID=401) and the links provided in this article also.

I am using a SQL Server on my workstation for testing purpose. On this computer, I use a local account to login, and to startup the MSSQLSERVER and SQLAgent services. It is NOT a domain account.

I have installed Outlook 2002 on this computer to configure sending and receiving e-mail from my corporate Exchange Server. The sending and receiving of mail work fine.

But I just fail to use SQLMail and SQLAgent Mail. For SQLMail, I can choose a profile under Support Services -> SQLMail -> Properties, and the profile tested correctly. But when I run the xp_sendmail stored procedure, it returns with the error: "Server: Msg 18025, Level 16, State 1, Line 0
xp_sendmail: failed with mail error 0x80040111".

For SQLAgentMail, in Management -> SQL Server Agent -> Properties-> Mail Session, I chose my mail profile and clicked "Test", it returned with an error "Error 22022: SQLServerAgentError: Unable to get the default MAPI Message Store due to MAPI error 273: The information store could not be opened."

In the Common SQLMail Problem article published by Microsoft, I checked from the "Proper configuration" that I have followed all configurations except that the account I used to start SQLServer and SQLAgent is a local account (of my workstation) instead of a domain account. I could not try using domain account due to some limitations. Is this the reason for all the errors?

Thank you very much,
delpiero

why don't you just change SQL services to run under your domain account? If this is for testing purposes, you shouldn't have a problem. In fact, your sqlmail/sqlagentmail will magically start to work.

For a prod box you would never want to run the services under a regular user account for obvious reasons.
