Default Unable to get MAPI profiles - 02-25-2005 , 10:13 AM






Hello All,

I am trying to use a send mail task in a DTS job, when I add the task to the
designer the following error dialog appears:

Title = DTS Designer Error
Msg = Unable to get MAPI profiles.

If I click Ok the dialog goes away and the send mail properties are
displayed but the profiles list is empty. I do have a profile configured and
am successfully using it for SQLMail and to send mail via the SQLServerAgent.

As always any help is appreciated,

Steve Skidmore

Remember DTS I a client side tool, so unless you are logged onto the server
console, with the service account you cannot see the profile you expect.
Because of this and my hatred for MAPI in server environments I suggest you
don't bother with this task and try one of these-

SMTP Mail Task

XPSMTP

I should have mentioned that. I am logged into the server as the service
account and the profile was created for the service account and has been
working when used with SQL mail.

Ok, so there is a profile available, but the task thinks there isn't Can
you confirm the profile is still there by looking in Mail in Control
Panel, then Show Profiles. Also open EM and go to SQL Mail, do you get
the profile listed in the drop-down? If it is there, then I have no
idea. Some bug or maybe permissions related, but doesn't make too much
sense if the profile is available for SQL Mail as well.

I still stick by my previous recommendation, regardless of the cause.

Yes, Ican see and test the same profile from SQLMail. I 'll consider your
anti-MAPI advice. Thanks for the replies.
