| Good morning all.I am new with SQL 2005, and am experiencing some confusion with how database mail can be enabled. The SQL Server Books online and the online documentation is a bit vague.SQL Server Books online says DB Mail may be enabled in two ways:1. SQL Server Surface Area Configuration Tool2. Database Mail Confige WizardIn another section of Books Online it says one may use a series of sp_configure stored procedures(I'll omit them). This section goes on to say that if one uses the Wizard then you do no need to execute the stored procedure enabling.So, this means there are three ways to enable Database Mail, correct?Thanks... great forum.[8DTalk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish. |

| Use config wizard, easier to set. By the way, you still need wizard to config db mail after enabling it in Surface Area Configuration. |
