How to copy db mail account in sql server

To copy a DB Mail account in SQL Server, you can follow these steps:

Method 1: Using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)

Open SSMS and connect to your SQL Server instance.
Expand the "Management" folder in the Object Explorer.
Right-click on "Database Mail" and select "Configure Database Mail".
In the "Database Mail Configuration" window, click on the "Accounts" tab.
Select the DB Mail account you want to copy and click on the "Copy" button.
Enter a new name for the copied account and click "OK".
Configure the copied account as needed (e.g., set the email address, server name, etc.).

Method 2: Using T-SQL

Open a new query window in SSMS and connect to your SQL Server instance.

Run the following T-SQL command to create a new DB Mail account:

EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_add_dbmail_account @account_name = 'NewAccountName', 
                                 @mail_profile_name = 'ProfileName', 
                                 @mail_server = 'ServerName', 
                                 @mail_port = 25, 
                                 @mail_username = 'Username', 
                                 @mail_password = 'Password'

Replace the placeholders with the desired values for the new account.

Run the following T-SQL command to copy the settings from the original account:
```
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_update_dbmail_account @account_name = 'NewAccountName', 
                                    @copy_from_account = 'OriginalAccountName'
```
Replace the placeholders with the desired values for the new account and the original account.

Method 3: Using PowerShell

Open PowerShell and connect to your SQL Server instance using the SQL Server PowerShell module:
```
Import-Module sqlps
Connect-SqlServer -ServerInstance <ServerInstanceName>
```

Run the following PowerShell command to create a new DB Mail account:

New-SqlDbMailAccount -Name "NewAccountName" -MailProfileName "ProfileName" -MailServer "ServerName" -MailPort 25 -MailUsername "Username" -MailPassword "Password"

Replace the placeholders with the desired values for the new account.

Run the following PowerShell command to copy the settings from the original account:
```
Copy-SqlDbMailAccount -Name "NewAccountName" -CopyFromAccount "OriginalAccountName"
```
Replace the placeholders with the desired values for the new account and the original account.

Note: Make sure to replace the placeholders with the actual values for your DB Mail account and server.
