When you create the first account, you are creating the super user account.. This is UID1. This account has full privileges, and can do anything on the site. Drupal will assign you a random password, and you will be able to change this password to something more manageable when you first create the account. All other accounts will send emails out to the proper email addresses.

Have you checked out the handbooks yet?

http://drupal.org/handbooks

Also this page:

http://drupal.org/node/176038

Will detail the creation of the first user account when installing Drupal.

(Never thought when I first downloaded Drupal I'd be replying to posts and helping new Drupal users..grin)

I ain't sure whether I understand all your issues but from my recent experience, see whether you can find the Drupal mails in your gmail's spam folder first. The web mailers (Hotmail, Yahoo Mail and Gmail) recently have tighten their spam filters and mails from unregistered servers are most likely marked as spam if mail content contains sensitive words such as "password", and long url links.

For mailing, just the Drupal core is sufficient. You don't need additional modules to do the job actually.

Hope it helps.
Peter.
