BuddyPress.org

wp3 sends new registration password emails without problem on bluehost – simplescripts or manual setup… until buddypress is installed. It then stops.
Problems with such a fundamental part of the software doesnt bode well for buddypress – Im starting to think it was better to just cough up the money to Ning.com and save the stress, grey hairs and months of leisure time likely lost.

Will try the mail from plugin but if other long roundabout fixes are required to send an email friom buddypress its not worth the trouble.
