Seems to me that only mails with MAIL_STATUS "SENT" were sent out successfully. If it stays in "MAIL", the Mailer may get stuck somewhere and may need a re-start.
Below query checks the email status:
SELECT notification_id N_ID, to_char(begin_date, 'mm-dd-yyyy hh24:mi:ss') beginDate, recipient_role, message_type, message_name, status, mail_status, context, to_user, subject
FROM wf_notifications
WHERE begin_date > sysdate - 5 -- List only emails within 5 days
ORDER by notification_id desc;
Here is a notification with FAILED status. Note: the record values could be dynamically changed with approval workflow's move.
N_ID RECIPIENT_ROLE MESSAGE_TYPE STATUS MAIL_STATUS CONTEXT TO_USER
15331513 APINVGR APINVAPR OPEN FAILED APINVAPR:11345495_1:116020 AP GROUP
To troubleshoot the failed notification, find and check the Workflow status first to see if any error.
You shall verify user APINVGR status and email address are correct.
Also try the Mailer logs in $APPLCSF/$APPLLOG to see if you are lucky to get some errors.
$ ls -lrt $APPLCSF/$APPLLOG/FNDCP*.txt
$ grep ":ERROR:" $APPLCSF/$APPLLOG/FNDCPGSC*.txt > mlrerr.log
$ grep "Exception:" $APPLCSF/$APPLLOG/FNDCPGSC*.txt > mlrexc.log
$ grep ":UNEXPECTED:" $APPLCSF/$APPLLOG/FNDCPGSC*.txt > mlrunexp.log
If the logs do not tell much, Doc ID 1051421.1 is a good document to follow on enabling debug for Mailer Service Component :
- In OAM : Site Map (or, WF Manager) > Notification Mailer > Edit > Advanced > Go to Step 2 > Change "Log Level" to "Statement" > Apply
- Bounce the Mailer container to generate a fresh log file
In OAM: Site Map > Generic Services > under Status Overview > Next (twice) > Generic Service Component Container > select Workflow Mailer Service > Restart (from the dropdown on the top).
(or, Dashboard > dropdown "Application Services" Go > Next ... to find Generic Service Component Container > ... )
Note it may take 5 minutes or so for a re-start cycle.
Even Workflow Mailer Service is running, Notification Mailer could be down if two $CONTEXT_FILE parameters are not right, because autoconfig will overwrite them if company's SMTP server name, e.g. mail.comany_name.com, is only entered under Outpound EMail Account section on OAM webpage. The correct way is to define them in $CONTEXT_FILE:
<hostname oa_var="s_smtphost">mail</hostname>
<domain oa_var="s_smtpdomainname">company_name.com</domain>
</oa_smtp_server>
If individual users do not receive notifications or their mails have Failed status, check two tables to see if their preference is turned off (disabled)which could happen when the Workflow Mailer attempts to send a notification to an invalid email address or when email server crashed and caused an outage of hours (Doc ID 360541.1).
SQL> select * from FND_USER_PREFERENCES where preference_value = 'DISABLED';
SQL> select * from WF_LOCAL_ROLES where notification_preference = 'DISABLED';
To enable it in FND_USER_PREFERENCES: log onto EBS as user who has the issue > click on Preferences > scroll down to Notifications > Email Style > dropdown "HTML mail with attachments"
To populate above change to WF_LOCAL_ROLES and WF_ROLES:
as System Administrator Responsibility > Define User form> query up user with issue:
a. Remove the Person Field > save.
b. Re-query the same user > add back the Person Field > Save
c. This effort does an internal synchronization for the particular user.
Notes on synchronizing workflow tables:
1. In my R12.1.3 instances, above actions synchronizes Status column in tables FND_USER and WF_LOCAL_ROLES. Doc 1213304.1 has info on three sync concurrent programs. In 11i, the synchronization seems more difficult. See Doc 728331.1 and Doc 364647.1.
2. Two steps are necessary to change a user's email address and synchronize it to workflow tables. Prior to about steps on Define User form, go to Setup (mostly under a Purchase/PO responsibility) > Personal > Employee form > update user's email address first.
3. If the Description column is out-of-date in table wf_local_roles, most likely newer data in table PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F is not populated to WF tables. The solution is to run concurrent program 'Synchronize WF LOCAL tables' with parameter FND_USR. That synchronized WF tables in my instances.
After this, run concurrent program Resend Failed/Error Workflow Notifications to resend those FAILED notifications.
If Workflow Mailer stopped, workflow notification will not be sent. Below query shows Workflow Mailer is not running, it needs a fix:
SQL> SELECT component_name, component_status, component_status_info
FROM fnd_svc_components_v
WHERE component_name like 'Workflow%';
component_name component_status component_status_info

Doc ID 562551.1 has useful queries. If you want to check into an individual notification, get the NOTIFICATION_ID from above query result and run below quest to see its status from tables WF_NOTIFICATIONS, WF_DEFERRED and WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT.
NOTE: a Failed notification will not reach WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT table
SQL> SELECT
n.begin_date, n.status, n.mail_status, n.recipient_role, de.def_enq_time, de.def_deq_time,
de.def_state, ou.out_enq_time, ou.out_deq_time, ou.out_state
FROM applsys.wf_notifications n,
(SELECT d.enq_time def_enq_time,

WHERE n.notification_id = 15331600
AND n.notification_id = de.d_notification_id(+)
AND n.notification_id = ou.o_notification_id(+) ;
Check if there are stuck messages in The PROCESS Folder:
SQL> SELECT trunc(win.enq_time) PROCESSED_TIME, wfn.status NOTIFICATION_STATUS, COUNT(*) NO_EMAILS
FROM (select wi.msgid, wi.corrid, wi.enq_time, wi.state, wi.sender_name,
(select str_value from table(wi.user_data.header.properties) where name = 'NOTIFICATION_ID') notification_id
from apps.WF_NOTIFICATION_IN wi) win, apps.WF_ERROR werr, apps.wf_notifications wfn
where win.notification_id = wfn.notification_id
and win.msgid = werr.msgid (+)
--and win.enq_time >= sysdate - 4/24 -- In the Process Folder for more than 4 hours
and wfn.status = 'OPEN'
group by trunc(win.enq_time), wfn.status;
