Does anyone know if database mail works in the SQLExpress2008 edition? My copy does not have the Wizard alot of the articles talk about, so I have been trying to use T-SQL scripts and the stored procedures to get it to work.
I have spent two days trying to get it to work and cannot figure out how. Does this even work in this version?
Thanks,

I think it is one of features not supported in the Express edition.
Kind regards,

Review the documents here:

Under the Enterprise Manageability section you will find whether or not Express supports Database Mail.

I was finally able to get it to work!!! yeahhhh
The problem was my "good friend" ATT shutting off the SMTP ports (25)!!!. After I went in and created a quick C# program using System.Net.Mail I was able to debug and find the problem.
There are several solutions: start your own email server, find a email provider that uses and doesn't block SMTP, or what I did was use my Microsoft "live.com" account.
