SQL Mail does not work with the 64-bit version of SQL Server

Question

Is there anyway around this? besides DB mail.

Im running version :

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (RTM) - 10.0.1600.22 (X64)   Jul  9 2008 14:17:44   Copyright (c) 1988-2008 Microsoft Corporation  Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 5.2 <X64> (Build 3790: Service Pack 2)

Answer 1

Hughesie,

 

Why are you still using SQL Mail in SQL Server 2008? Setting up Database mail is so easy and should be the preferred solution going forward. Also yo uhaven't mentioned what errors yo uare getting.

 

It’s as simple as running few procedures listed below.

On a side note, have you considered going to SP1. A bunch of bug fixes have been done in SP1.
