Site e mail not working

My email evidently has been down since January. I checked BL settings>email configuration>Mail Send Type is set to "mail". Under Personalisation>the site email and vender e mail are the same. I tried changing the Client Templated to Backlight Standard page. No change on that. I cleared the cache. Still no e mail.

Re: Site e mail not working

Do the site and vendor emails end in @martinjenichphotography.com?

Re: Site e mail not working

It was mjenich@gmai.com. I added my domain site to the e mail. It now reads: mjenich@gmail.com@martinjenichphotography.com. I don't think that's correct. When I try to send an e mail to myself via the option in BL2, I get an error message saying it's not a valid e mail address.

Re: Site e mail not working

What the document means is that you should create an email account through your host. there should be a place in the c-panel or elsewhere to create an email account.
It will end in @yoursite.com so you’d have something like:
mjenich@martinjenichphotography.com

If you’re using gmail, then you can try the smtp option. You’ll need to fill out all the smtp fields. There are tool tips to explain each one.

Re: Site e mail not working

I contacted Blue host twice. One person said they couldn't help me. The chat said it was one of two problems: 1. G mail-contact them. 2. Plug in settings. I checked my BL2 settings. Here they are: Mail send-smtp, SMPT Host-smtp g mail, User name- mjenich@gmail.com, Port- 465, Security Protocol-SSI

This is about my last shot at this. If I can't get it to work, I'll just remove the contact form and just give my phone and e mail and people can contact me from their own e mail program.

Re: Site e mail not working

If you have Bluehost you can just create a new email address.
Log in to Bluehost
Click on "email" in the navigation menu (the menu that has:   dashboard   home   cpanel   performance  mail   ....etc. )

Click on Create Email Account

After you've created it, look for the "Email Configuration" link. That will give you all the info you need to set up to send and receive email in your email client (Outlook, for example)

Re: Site e mail not working

I wouldn't be using my g mail account, correct?

Is there a way to increase the font size on the contact page only?
