I found a solution. I have the problem, that the generated link leads to a "not 
found" page. This is because it is not considered that SEO URLs are in use. 
Appending the activation code as a GET parameter in form of a string with "&" 
does not work in that case, like it happens in the module. Instead, it is safe 
to provide the parameter(s) as an array to the method of the PrestaShop Link 
class that generates the link.

Within activationbymail.php in line 73 in the hookCreateAccount method:

$link = $this->context->link->getModuleLink($this->name, 'activation') . 
'&link=' . $activation_link;

Should become this:

$link = $this->context->link->getModuleLink($this->name, 'activation', 
array('link' => $activation_link));

This automatically takes care of using the right symbol for appending the 
parameter.

#1 peter's post worked for me. I am using 1.5.4. However, on other related 
issue. When on the mobile site, the module only worked when I added the its 
contents a subfolder /en/.

Insert in 73 line:
        $read = "SELECT value FROM ps_configuration WHERE name = 'PS_REWRITING_SETTINGS'";
$connect = @mysqli_connect(_DB_SERVER_, _DB_USER_, _DB_PASSWD_, _DB_NAME_);
if ($connect) {
    $res1 = mysqli_query($connect, $read);
    while ($row1 = mysqli_fetch_assoc($res1)){
             $config = $row1;
        }
} else {
   echo('Cannot connect to database...'); exit;
}
mysqli_close($connect);

if ($config['value'] == '0'){
$link = $this->context->link->getModuleLink($this->name, 'activation') . 
'&link=' . $activation_link;
} else {
$link = $this->context->link->getModuleLink($this->name, 'activation') . 
'?link=' . $activation_link;
}
