To enable Database Mail
sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE;
GO
sp_configure 'Database Mail XPs', 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE
GO
Now we can get back to setting up the e-mail profile and adding an e-mail account.
-- Create a Database Mail profile
EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_profile_sp
@profile_name = 'Notifications',
@description = 'Profile used for sending outgoing notifications using MAIL.' ;
Go
-- Grant access to the profile to the DBMailUsers role
EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_principalprofile_sp
@profile_name = 'Notifications',
@principal_name = 'public',
@is_default = 1 ;
GO
-- Create a Database Mail account
EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_account_sp
@account_name = 'MAIL',
@description = 'Mail account for sending outgoing notifications.',
@email_address = 'youremail@gmail.com',
@display_name = 'your email name',
@mailserver_name = 'mail.gmail.com',
@port = 465,
@enable_ssl = 1,
@username = 'youremail@gmail.com',
@password = 'your password' ;
GO
-- Add the account to the profile
EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_add_profileaccount_sp
@profile_name = 'Notifications',
@account_name = 'MAIL',
@sequence_number =1 ;
GO
Now, you can test the email configuration
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail
@profile_name = 'Notifications',
@recipients = 'youremail@gmail.com',
@query = 'SELECT * FROM msdb.dbo.sysmail_event_log; ' ,
@subject = 'Email Testing',
@attach_query_result_as_file = 1 ;
Check email log
SELECT * FROM msdb.dbo.sysmail_event_log;
