Steps to reproduce the issue
After updating Joomla to 3.6.0 I started to create a new user. As a result, I get this error message:
An error has occurred.
0 Call to a member function addRecipient() on boolean
It is happens with PHP 7.0.8.
I turn sever on PHP 5.6 and repeat creating new user. As a result, I get another error:
The mydomain.com page isn’t working
mydomain.com is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500
But all users have been created.
Expected result
There shouldn't be such error message.
Actual result
Described above.

Additional comments
It's a result of #9881
You'll only get that type of error if you feed invalid data into JMail. In 3.5.1 it was throwing Exceptions, 3.6 tries to catch them in JMail and consistently return boolean false on an error case versus blissfully discarding any errors.
Long and short, validate your email addresses are valid before calling any method in JMail or PHPMailer which accepts an email address as an argument.
How have you configured your mail settings in Joomla Global Config - exactly - without sending the passwords here.
@mbabker @PhilETaylor thanks for the tip which way to go. I just been checked out Mail Settings in Global Configuration and found it's unable to save settings. Browser console shows this:
JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 1.4.1
2sendtestmail.js:6 Uncaught ReferenceError: sendtestmail_url is not defined
Sorry for reporting about another issue(?) here.

Misprinted. I unable to send test mail.
Clear Browser cache (Ctrl+F5) and then save
clear. the. cache. all. caches.....
Ahh..... My fault! Sending test mail works now after cache clearing. :-)
So this can be closed then ?
