I tried to configure sqlmail for sending mail alert to me. I'm using outlook express 6 in which I've configured to get the all mails.

when i set the profile in sqlmail through EM, I got following error.

"Error 18030: xp_test_mapi_profile : Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the message requiest. Please run Microsoft outlook and set it as the default mail client "

pls help me

Thanks & Regards

Hi smuralig, Welcome to SQL Team!

I don't think Outlook EXPRESS has suffient "MAPI" stuff to qualify.

Hi kristen

Thanks for reverting,

It seems that it will work with Outlook.

is there any other way to configure the MAPI in outlook express.


Thanks and Regards,


S.Murali

"is there any other way to configure the MAPI in outlook express"

The best I can do is to repeat my previous answer, I'm afraid "I don't think Outlook EXPRESS has suffient "MAPI" stuff to qualify" - sorry I can't do better.

And, yes, its a rubbish solution - pollute your nice clean SQL server with a bloated and unstable application which is the target of many virus attacks.

Because of this we won't run SQL Mail on ANY of our servers - which is a major disadvantage in terms of getting Notifications etc.
