Hi

I just ran the following command & got the following result

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.760 (Intel X86)
Dec 17 2002 14:22:05
Copyright (c) 1988-2003 Microsoft Corporation
Enterprise Evaluation Edition on Windows NT 5.0 (Build 2195: Service Pack 4)

Thus as per my knowledge is has Service Pack 4 , which is the latest.

Now i have even configured the Microsoft Outlook client & am able to send & recieve mails.

But then i try to configure the SQL Mail it says

Error 18030:xp_test_mapi_profile:Either there is no defaultmail client or the currrent mail client cannot fulfill the messagong request.

Please help.

You need to create a user on the server and configure it for Outlook. Then you need to change the Server and SQL Server Agent properties to login as that user, then you'll be able to choose that users default mail profile. Basically SQL Server needs to have a MAPI client profile to start with in order for it to send mail.

8.00.760

--That is SP3, not SP4.

Make sure you haven't setup a .PST file for the account. Some people make that mistake which causes issues. Just keep all the email on the server.
