Your first post was very ambiguous, so you received a general response.

Under Surface Area Configuration (SAM), I change to the 2005 server where I want to allow Databasemail, click the box to enable the feature and click the OK button.

If you are not a sysadmin, you cannot do this. If you do not change to the proper instance, you cannot do this.|||How do you attach the file. I want to show you what I have here.|||OK, I found how to attach the file now. Here is what I see on my local box. And I am the member of sysadmin.

There is no problem.
