Note that you can (and should) still have separate app-pools, but they have to run using the same identity. Don't forget to delegate control to the app-pool identity for making changes in AD. After getting frustrated I just granted full-control to the OU and then went back later and fixed it. Make sure the Sharepoint Timer service is running, otherwise the emails will just sit in the ...
