  When I call the SP "msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail" the email is queued and an entry is created in msdb.dbo.sysmail_allitems with status "Unsent", also "ExternalMailQueue" is filled with the entry but the Email is not sent, The problem is that \MSSQL\Binn\DatabaseMail90.exe" is not triggered, and I have to double click on this external program to fire all the emails in the Queue, Is there any way to fix this issue?..

  Thanks All for your responses.

  Finally I have the solution;

  I did not know but I had SP1 on my express edition, I just needed to upgrade to SP2 and the emails were magically sent.

  Regards.
