GO

 

Delete Account Name from DB mail

/* EXECUTE msdb.dbo.sysmail_delete_account_sp  @account_name = 'Test' ; */

 

See the Status of Email

SELECT * FROM msdb.dbo.sysmail_unsentitems

SELECT * FROM msdb.dbo.sysmail_sentitems

SELECT * FROM msdb.dbo.sysmail_faileditems

 

SELECT mailitem_id

    ,[subject]

    ,[last_mod_date]

    ,(SELECT TOP 1 [description]

            FROM msdb.dbo.sysmail_event_log

            WHERE mailitem_id = logs.mailitem_id

            ORDER BY log_date DESC) [description]

FROM msdb.dbo.sysmail_faileditems logs

These logs have all useful information that could help in troubleshooting, and we are in particular interested in the ‘description’ column as it holds detailed information about the error and what went wrong.
