Under E-mail address we input the email address that email notifications are going to be sent from. Under Display name we input the name which will be shown on email notifications sent.

At this point we can create more accounts which can be sorted by priority as a fail safe in case that some of the accounts fails to send the email notification. After that, we click on Next onto the next page. In the Public Profiles tab, we configure the account that will be available to any user or role with access to mail host database msdb to send email notifications using that profile.

If you would want to grant access to profiles, please read this document.

To the right, check the box near Enable mail profile , for the Mail system set Database Mail , for Mail profile set the profile we created and after that click on OK. Creating an operator As with enabling Database Mail, creating an operator is a process which can only be accomplished by a member of sysadmin fixed server role.

A Database Mail profile is a collection of Database Mail accounts. Profiles improve reliability in cases where an e-mail server becomes unreachable, by providing alternative Database Mail accounts. At least one Database Mail account is required. For more information about setting the priority of Database Mail accounts in the profile, see Create a Database Mail Profile.

This order is determined by a value called the sequence number. Move Up lowers the sequence number and Move Down increases the sequence number.

The sequence number determines the order in which Database Mail uses accounts in the profile. For a new e-mail message, Database Mail starts with the account that has the lowest sequence number. Should that account fail, Database Mail uses the account with the next highest sequence number, and so on until either Database Mail sends the message successfully, or the account with the highest sequence number fails.

If the account with the highest sequence number fails, the Database Mail pauses attempts to send the mail for the amount of time configured in the Database Mail AccountRetryDelay parameter, then starts the process of attempting to send the mail again, starting with the lowest sequence number.

Use the Database Mail AccountRetryAttempts parameter, to configure the number of times that the external mail process attempts to send the e-mail message using each account in the specified profile. Profile name Type the name for the new profile. The profile is created with this name.

Do not use the name of an existing profile. Description Type a description for the profile. SMTP accounts Choose one or more accounts for the profile. The priority sets the order in which Database Mail uses the accounts. Use this page to manage an existing Database Mail profile. Delete Delete the selected profile. You will be prompted to select Yes to delete the selected profile and to fail any unsent messages, or to select No to delete the selected profile only if there are no unsent messages.

Description View or change the description of the selected profile. The failover priority sets the order in which Database Mail uses the account in case of a failover.
