Errors trying to setup Database Mail in SQL 2005

I have gone thru and set up Database Mail and am trying to send a test
message. When I send the test, the following is shown in the log:

Exception Type: System.NullReferenceException
Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Data: System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal
TargetSite: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlIMail.Server.Objects.Account
GetAccount(Int32)
HelpLink: NULL
Source: DatabaseMailEngine

StackTrace Information
===================
at
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlIMail.Server.DataAccess.DataAccessAdapter.GetAccount(Int32 accountID)
at
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlIMail.Server.Controller.CommandFactory.CreateSendMailCommand(DBSession dbSession)
at
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlIMail.Server.Controller.CommandFactory.CreateCommand(DBSession dbSession)
at
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlIMail.Server.Controller.CommandRunner.Run(DBSession db)
at
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.SqlIMail.IMailProcess.ThreadCallBack.MailOperation(Object o)


If I try to send a mail directly in Queryanalyzer by using the
sp_send_dbmail sp, it says Mail Queued, but then when I look in the log, the
same error above shows. All the info I have found on the Internet seems to
be related to clustered server. This is not a clustered server.

Our Mail Server is a Lotus Notes Server.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I should note that I have tested the SMTP server by writing a simple VB.Net
program that uses the System.Net.SMTPClient class to send a message and it
works fine.
