Problem Starting Mail Session
Hi friends,
When I run "EXEC xp_startmail", I get the following error:
"xp_startmail: Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client."
But I do have Microsoft Outlook running and it is the default mail client! What am I missing? Please help.
Thanks, friends.

If not, do change this.
Then, log on to the SQL Server box using that account, and verify that you can open the Mail Client, which should also use the "default" profile. Opening the client should succeed without any message or popup (for example Auto-Archive...)
This should help.
