    Hi @Vaishnavi Gopalakrishnan ,

    What is your SQL server version? Using select @@version to check this. Please read your Database Mail Log to find some useful information, and share us the information for analysis. Management->Database Mail->View Database Mail Log

    Did you check the values of Database Mail Executable Minimum Lifetime as below screenshot? SSMS object> Management > Database Mail Configuration Wizard

    The message sounds like it relates to one of the internal Service Broker queues.

    What does this query return

    SELECT name, is_activation_enabled, is_receive_enabled, is_enqueue_enabled 
    FROM msdb.sys.service_queues WHERE name LIKE '%MailQueue'
    

    Now, if any of these queues are stopped, I'm not sure what do with that, but we'll see.

    We got it resolved through a person from Microsoft. He helped our IT guy to fix it.

    Thank you all for your recommendation. I will post the solution if I get to know it. We had a McAfee installation. Our team doubted that it caused the problem.
