I am adding new users in Craft Pro, I don't get a chance to specify password, seems its is auto generated but I don't get any email sent to the user I just created. Is there any setting I have missed?
I have setup Gmail in settings >> Email >> Protocol and tested and received test email but doesn't send email when a new user is added.
Any help will be appreciated.
Cheers.

From the CP, you can't create a password for a user. They'll receive an email, in which they can click on an activation link and they can set their own password by following the workflow.
There is extra logic in registering a new user from the CP that will detect if Craft can create the user, but not send the email, and the CP will notify you if that is the case.
It sounds like maybe the email is being sent, but caught up in a SPAM filter somewhere.
You can also check through your craft/storage/runtime/logs files to see if any [error] or [warning] entries are getting logged.
I had similar problem with some german email providers (web.de, gmx). PHP-Mail and Sendmail failed but the solution for me was to use a smtp server in the email configs of Craft.
