e-mail setup on SQL 2000 std

Hello All,
I am trying to set up e-mail notification, but when I open SQL Server Agent
(Properties) the Mail Profile is outgreyed, and I cannot choose any Mail
Profile.
I have Outlook 2002 (XP) installed on the machine, and I tried configuring a
profile with POP and IMAP account, but no mather what I do, the Mail Profile
is stil outgreyed. I don't have MAPI access from that machine, but according
to some books I refered to it shouldn't be a must.
As I can see, either it should be a MAPI, or I am missing something that
should be installed on SQL server, a component or something like that.
Any ideas?
Thanx in advance,
Zoran
YOu have t configure the EMail inBox for the service Account SQL Server
Agent is running on. If this is confugured you will be able to see the
Profile. Anyway, if you want to use another program not relying on MAPI, try
the SMTP_Sendmail which is free of charge :-)
