Title: Mail setup issue
Post by: WingoLED on June 02, 2020, 05:00:39 PM

1)Is there a dummy style tutorial for setting up the php mail?

2)I have set up my email address in Hostgator using webmail.  I manually tested successfully to receive and send using the address say "admin@mydomain.com"
2a)In AbanteCart, I went to system > settings > Mail and use the "Mail" option.

What else do I need to set so that the "Contact US" page and an auto-response can send out to the customer when an order is received along with an email alert to my site admin email address?

I did not receive anything in admin@mydomain.com either after placing an order or submitting the contact us form.

Thanks

I solved the issue, I just have to add the email address on the space where it says additional alerts.

I did not realize the default site email is in fact just a message function/system on the top of the admin screen, not an email address I set up as the site email.  LOL
