Troubleshooting: Not receiving email after opening a problem

Why am I not receiving email even after installing Service Manager and opening a problem?

To troubleshoot this problem:

Verify you are a member of the assignment group for the problem. If not, you will not receive notification of any kind.
Determine whether you are attempting to send email to yourself when you open a problem.
Service Manager does not send email to the individual who is opening, updating or closing a problem, regardless of their membership in the assignment group.
Log on to Service Manager as someone else.
Open a new problem.
Determine whether the operator to whom you are sending email has an email address specified in his or her operator record.
Ensure it is correct.
Check the Message Class file for External Email records.
Is there one for problem open?
If not, add one.
Verify there are records in the event output queue with a type of email.
If so, determine whether the JavaMail agent or another email agent is active.

Use Agent Status to:
- Check that in the event agent, the Stop button should be enabled, and a start time and an idle time should appear.
- Click the Refresh button to reset idle time to 00:00:00. It should begin increasing again.
- If the Start button is enabled and there is no start and idle Time, click Start and wait until the problem agent recycles.
Determine if there is an output type event registration record for email.
If the JavaMail agent or another email agent is active and you still do not receive mail, stop the agent.
Open a problem and check the event output queue for new events with a type of email.
If a new email event is added to the queue, restart the JavaMail agent or another email agent.
When the email has been sent, the event is deleted only if the keepmail parameter is turned off.

Note Always check the Service Manager Message Log and any external log files for errors. All SCAutomate errors are logged with a class of event management errors.
