  • I ran into a similar problem with mail not being sent even though everything is configured correctly. The problem turned out to be the name of my mail profile! I had a space in it. So when I changed "Mail Profile" to "MailProfile", everything worked fine and the mail queue state correctly changed from "INACTIVE" to "RECEIVES_OCCURRING".
