Re: Unit test successful in isolation, fails when the whole app is tested

looking?

Start with the specifics of the failure, look at the previously run tests and see what they may have done that could cause the failure. I don't think, for example, that the email outbox is reset between test methods (which strikes me as a bit odd at the moment, I'm not sure why that is not reset for each test run...perhaps I'm wrong about it not being reset or there is a good reason that escapes me at the moment). Anyway I think your assertions that are testing for a specific number of emails in the box could fail if a previous test caused email to be sent also. But you haven't said what the specifics of the failure are so I'm not sure that is what you are seeing.
