Email Failure

[jolliejollie]

Hi. While I was setting up the payment modules at Admin | Modules | Payment, a warning was shown at the top saying "ERROR: Failed sending email to: "[email protected]" with subject: "ALERT: Your Admin settings have been changed in your online store." Could not instantiate mail function". But I've set up Admin | Configuration | Email-Options already. There ARE some settings I wasn't sure about like the following (not sure if they are causing this problem):

- E-Mail Transport Method: Kept as default PHP
- E-Mail Linefeeds: Kept as default LF
- SMTP Section: Kept as default

What should I do to fix this emailing problem?? Thanks.

Hi
Try following this thread:

Double check your password.

Change the 'Transport method' to 'smtpauth'

Fill in the SMTP section with the details that your hosting provider will have(?) provided to you.

Cheers
