Emails not being sent through form block

Permalink
Hello,

I have a form block on a page and everything looks ok:
- messages get recorded in the C5 system and show up on the dashboard
- php mail log doesn't show any mistake

But I never receive any email in my mail box and I checked the trash bin.

I am developping using Xamp light on a usb drive. I thought maybe it was because I'm using the light one but it doesn't seem to be.

Anybody can help?
many thanks

You may need to edit the actual form.

1. edit page
2. edit form block
3. edit form block options
4. find the option to 'forward form submissions to an email address'

Let me know how you get on.

hello Wagdi,
thanks for your reply. That option is set already and I specified my email address (on yahoo) to forward messages to but it's not working.

It just may be because its on a local server. Some functions don't work fully on a local-host. Once its up and running online, it should sort itself.
You could try another email service but I can't see why yahoo would be an issue.
Hope that helps.

Thanks,

I had reached the same conclusion but I'm not an expert and wanted a second opinion. Thanks for providing it.
Now I'm crossing my fingers...
