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

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 am very interested.  A market place is almost the first step or at least a lock-step with individual shopping carts.

Many companies need a market place to advertise first before trying to move the customer back on their own site if ever.

For eg. the Majority of fast-food take-outs maybe using Slice or Gloria food to get a totally stranger on the web to order.   

I have a similar problem. 

I set up the email system in AbanteCart with the default on the screen "MAIL".    Is there anything else I need to set?

I have set up a webmail account in connection with this shopping domain   "admin@somedomainname.com"
Abantecart is installed in "somedomainname.com"
I also verified that the webmail.somedomainname.com works already.

In my case, I am using Hostgator
