SQL SERVER 2014 Configure Database Mail
Database Mail is an enterprise solution for sending e-mail messages from the SQL Server Database Engine. Using Database Mail, your database applications can send e-mail messages to users. The messages can contain query results, and can also include files from any resource on your network.Step (1)
- In Object Explorer panel, connect to the SQL Server instance you want to configure Database Mail on, and expand the server tree.
- Expand the “Management” node
- Double click “Database Mail” to open the Database Mail Configuration Wizard.
- Or right click under “Database Mail” and select the option “Configure Database Mail”
Step (2)
- On the Welcome to Database Mail Configuration Wizard page, click “Next” to continue
- On the Select Configuration Task page, select “Set up Database Mail by performing the following tasks:” and click “Next” to continue.
- Set up Database Mail by performing the following tasks: Perform all of the tasks required to set up Database Mail for the first time. This option includes all of the other three options.

Step (3)
- If Database Mail has not been enabled, you will receive the message: “The Database Mail feature is not available. Would you like to enable this feature?” Click “Yes” to continue
- On the New Profile page, specify the “Profile name” and “Description” to be included in the profile, and click “Add…” to specify an account
Step (4)
- On the New Database Mail Account page, specify the account name, description, mail server information, and authentication type. Click “OK”
- A Database Mail account contains the information that SQL Server uses to send e-mail messages to an SMTP server. Each account contains information for one e-mail server and doesn’t correspond to a SQL Server account or a Microsoft Windows account. Database Mail can be sent using the credentials of the SQL Server Database Engine, using other credentials that you supply, or anonymously. When using basic authentication, the user name and password in a Database Mail account are only used for authentication with the e-mail server. An account need not correspond to a SQL Server user or a user on the computer running SQL Server.
- E-mail address: yourmail@gmail.com
- Display name: Your Name
- Reply email: yourmail@gmail.com
- Server name: smtp.gmail.com
- Port number: 587
- SSL: Checked
