• As per this MSDN , yes its not supported .

    But there is a tweak 🙂

    Copy DatabaseMail90.exe, DatabaseMailEngine.dll and DatabaseMailProtocols.dll into the MSSQL\Binn directory and execute below mentioned system SPs (in MSDB context)

    dbo.sysmail_start_sp

    dbo.sysmail_stop_sp

    You are done .Actually these 3 files you need to copy from ENT edition or STD edition.
