Comment on How to Fix the Event ID Error 5553 in SharePoint Server 2010 by Chris K

If you receive the “Access Denied” message, log on to the server as your farm account, instead of your user account. Then make sure you’re running the command prompt as administrator and that it is a member of the local admins group. That should allow the stsadm command to complete.

This didn’t work for me. Ran the full sync. Went into my profile, has an email. My settings show it as well under work email. Tested email account in OWA – works fine. Deleted and re-entered alert, still get the same error. This makes no sense.
