Theres quite few posts that may help you, just a few helpers, make sure your email address in the general section is the same as in the form. If you are using a core/essentials form check all ID’s of blocks as they all need to be different. Once you’re happy with this then you need your servers email SMTP info. If all s correct then it should work. However there have been problems with some hosts due to upgraded security on hosts end. @differentdan is a great resource and tends to be able to help when really stuck. GOOD LUCK!
