I've set up database mail and can right click and send test email and it works great.

Then I created an operator with an email address.
Then I went in to the notification tab on my JOB and set to send an email to the operator when the job succeeds .
problem is that the email fails to send.
The job completes fine.

Change the mail profile to PUBLIC.

It is already a PUBLIC profile and it is already set to DEFAULT.
What else can I look for?

I've even deleted the job and recreated it. Still it doesn't work.
Just to make sure I've doen it right. I don't need to have anything in the alerts populated do i . It's just the notifications is that right?

Have you configured SQL Server Agent and setup the Alert System? This needs to be configured to use Database Mail.

Yes.
and I can right click and send test email successfully from database mail.
I have set this up identically on two systems. One works but teh other doesn't

The job succeeded. The Job was invoked by User DOMAIN\Administrator. The last step to run was step 1 (Truncate and Refill tables). NOTE: Failed to notify 'John Brown' via email.

Just because you can send database mail, does not mean SQL Server Agent has been configured to use it. You need to configure it to use Database Mail before notifications can be sent from a job.
