SQL Mail Removed in SQL Server 2012

SQL Mail is removed from SQL Server 2012 as Microsoft promised in SQL 2008’s BOL. Configuration “SQL Mail XPs” is removed from SQL 2012, check sp_configure in SQL Server 2012. Supporting procedures are removed as well. Those procedures are removed from master database xp_startmail, xp_stopmail, xp_findnextmsg, xp_readmail, xp_deletemail, xp_sendmail, and sp_processmail. Ensure your SQL Server applications do not use them anymore. If do, have those contract procedures handy before upgrading SQL Servers to 2012.
