I had a similar issue weeks ago and nearly gave up on BuddyPress because of it. Today I tried a fresh [1] install of BuddyPress 1.5.2 with WordPress 3.2.1. I did have to wait about five minutes, but the email did come through.
Are you getting any error messages?
Try to log in with the new username and see if you get the error “you need to activate your account” (not verbatim) (Update: The error reads, “Your account has not been activated. Check your email for the activation link” in WordPress, I’m sure the BuddyPress error message is very close)
[1] I didn’t change any settings from their default expect (“Anyone can register”). The only other plugins that are activated are AutoChimp and JetPack, which shouldn’t have anything to do with this issue.
Hang in there! BuddyPress is a young project. If you persist, I’m sure you’ll figure it out.

@hnla, @mercime, How do I add a tag a forum post? I’d like to tage this one, but I don’t see how. Also, I’d like to “follow” or “subscribe” to this forum post, but I don’t see how. Will you please show me the way? (I am posting this “me too” reply in hopes that it will trigger a “follow” or “subscribe” function.)
Thanks!
P.S. I believe bug 1949 [1] relates to this issue; if I am mistaken, please let me know. Thank you!
I, too, am looking for documentation. I found the BuddyPress codex [1]. However, I find it somewhat lacking. Is it a wiki like the WordPress Codex[2]? If so, I may add what I learn to help others.
Ideally, I am looking for a single-document version of the documentation. I would like to print it and have it as a reference as I work. Has that been done before? What would it take to write a script to combine the existing docs at [1] into a single document (HTML, PDF, etc.)?
@mercime, I am specifically looking for information about user profile fields: I’d like to import an existing set of user fields. I haven’t searched the plugins yet; I’m still trying to get oriented to the BuddyPress support system. As for “submitting articles,” where do the articles live? How do I submit one?
