Remarks
Use the sysmail_allitems view to see the status of all messages processed by Database Mail. This view can help you identify the nature of any problems, by showing you the attributes of the messages that were sent compared with the attributes of the messages that weren't sent.
The system tables exposed by this view contain all messages and might cause the msdb database to grow. Delete old messages from the view periodically to reduce the size of the tables. For more information, see Create a SQL Server Agent Job to Archive Database Mail Messages and Event Logs.
Permissions
Granted to sysadmin fixed server role and DatabaseMailUserRole database role. When executed by a member of the sysadmin fixed server role, this view shows all messages. All other users only see the messages that they submitted.
