Hi Max, thanks your reply post too quick
Yes, i follow toturial to setup email.
I Try change mail setting in joomla (Global Configuration )
mailer : Sendmail . no error appear but mail don't come my inbox
mailer : SMTP ( i don't have acc smtp )

I try test send mail from localhost with code :

<?php
$from = 'thongbk83@hotmail.com';
$to = 'thongbk83@hotmail.com';
$subject = 'Example 1: Send simple text email';
$message = 'A plain text email.';
 
if ( mail($to, $subject, $message, $header) ) {
	echo "Email sent to $to!";
} else {
	echo "Error occured while sending email to $to!";
} //end if
?>

but not success Error occured while sending email to [email]thongbk83@hotmail.com[/email]!

i test in localhost with apache , php and mysql .
thanks

Hi rockbk,

if your site can't email then Chronoforms will not, thats because maybe you didn't setup an email server correctly on your machine, try this from a joomla live site and assure the site can send emails from articles page for example!

Cheers
