I just had the same problem.Ihad to enable DatabaseMail on the SQL Server Agent -> properties -> Alert System (check the checkbox), and then restart SQL Server Agent.
It works now, thanks to a posting by "Johnny" in microsoft.public.sqlserver.serverwith the topic "How to setup Operator for sending alerts?"

8 years later, this is still relevant.... thanks, that was causing my problem today 🙂 Two servers, one with this set right and one it got missed on and we couldn't figure out why some jobs notified upon failure and others didn't.
