How to edit sql database mail profile

To edit a SQL Server database mail profile, you can follow these steps:

Using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)

Open SSMS and connect to your SQL Server instance.
In the Object Explorer, expand the "SQL Server" node, then expand the "Databases" node, and select the database that contains the mail profile you want to edit.
In the "Database" node, right-click on "Database Mail" and select "Configure Database Mail".
In the "Database Mail Configuration" window, select the mail profile you want to edit from the "Profile" dropdown list.
Click on the "Edit" button to open the "Database Mail Profile" window.
Make the necessary changes to the profile settings, such as updating the SMTP server, username, and password.
Click "OK" to save the changes.

Using T-SQL

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

Execute the following T-SQL command to edit the mail profile:

EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
EXEC sp_configure 'database mail', 1;
RECONFIGURE;
EXEC msdb.dbo.sysmail_update_profile_sp @profile_name = 'your_profile_name', @description = 'your_new_description';

Replace your_profile_name with the name of the mail profile you want to edit, and your_new_description with the new description for the profile.

Using PowerShell

Open PowerShell and connect to your SQL Server instance using the following command:

$server = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ServerConnection("your_server_name")
$server.ConnectionContext.ExecuteNonQuery("EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1; RECONFIGURE; EXEC sp_configure 'database mail', 1; RECONFIGURE;")

Replace your_server_name with the name of your SQL Server instance.

Once connected, you can use the following PowerShell command to edit the mail profile:
```
$profile = Get-MailProfile -ProfileName "your_profile_name"
$profile.Description = "your_new_description"
$profile.Update()
```
Replace your_profile_name with the name of the mail profile you want to edit, and your_new_description with the new description for the profile.

Note: Make sure to replace the placeholders with the actual values for your SQL Server instance and mail profile.
