Operator Mail Problems

I have set up an operator under the SQL Server Agent, added an email address
and click Test, and I get the following error message:
Error 22022: SQLServerAgent Error: The SQLServerAgent mail session is not
running; check the mail profile and/or the SQLServerAgent service startup
account int the SQLServerAgent Properties dialog.
Now, This machine has outlook installed and under Support Services -> SQL
Mail -> Properties, the profile name (Outlook) is selected and I can Test it
(Successfully started (and stopped) a MAPI session with this profile.)
Under the SQL Server Agent settings I have the profile set there (Outlook)
and I can successfully test it (Successfully started (and stopped) a mail
session with this profile)
Both the SQL Server and SQL Server Agent are run under the same domain
account. I can log on with this account and open Outlook and send and
recieve email messages with no problems. I can also use xp_sendmail in
Query Analyzer to send email messages as well.
I have searched extensively through google and have yet to find any settings
that I am missing, however, I am unable to recieve alerts to my operators,
I'm not even able to get the test message to work. Does anyone have any
ideas as to what could be causing this problem.
Thanks for the help,

Yes, I have been through both, but neither cover the problem I am having.
