How to set the mail profile for SQL Server Agent (Enterprise Manager)

To set the mail profile for SQL Server Agent

1. Right-click SQL Server Agent; then click Properties.
2. In the SQL Server Agent Properties dialog box, on the General tab, under Mail session, click a profile in the Mail profile box. If no profiles are listed, enter the name of the profile to use.

   For information about setting up profiles, see your Microsoft® Exchange or Microsoft Outlook™ documentation.

Note If the Exchange or Outlook client is configured to deliver mail to a personal folder that is password protected, SQL Server Agent will not be able to start its mail session. To avoid this, remove the password protection from the .pst file.
