Was he typing your account name wrong, and then when he got close to you he didn’t type it but rather used the UI to invite you?

Is he free to play?

Are -you- F2P?
What method was he using to mail/invite? Sometimes the right-click dropdown method doesn’t work.
Ways to do a group invite: Type /invite Name of Player. Right click their name in your friends list and use the drop down. Do the same right click on name in a chat window where they have typed something, or in a guild roster. Target them when they are next to you and right click the target portrait.

Ways to mail: Type in character or account name in the To field, eg Oathkeeper.1453. Right click on name in any of the same locations as mentioned above, plus if you have managed to group, right click on the portrait in the UI upper left or on the name in chat.

Note that I often find myself blocked from inviting someone by one or another of these methods, as in the option just won’t appear. Sometimes it is because they are already in a group. Sometimes the game is just being weird and I have to find their name in a list or chat to click on, or target them next to me as you noted.

For mail I will ONLY send things by right clicking a name somewhere. I’ve heard too many stories of valuable items mailed to a random person who ran in front of the sender as they were clicking on their intended mail target, or they just spun their camera and it acquired a new target as recipient without them noticing. I right click, select Mail To, and do a quick glance at the recipient field in the mail window to verify.

My guess: he was trying to send you something that is account-bound or soul-bound.

Range has nothing to do with sending mail, nor does grouping.

Just make sure to tell your friend to double check that his resume is attached to emails where he applies for jobs.
