Hi, i couldn’t believe this was the only post i found about this, as i’ve had the same problem.
I took a look at what else changed for me, and recalled that i also updated my jetpack plugin at the same time, and it now has a built in form facility, and that this uses the same shortcode as contact form 7.
So, i disabled jetpack and hey presto contact form works again!
when i get time i’ll try and find a workaround, or maybe someone will update contact form or jetpack to work together.
hope that helps?
I already had jetpack disabled so I need to go through some more and see what else. Luckily I updated a site that I could pull the contact form from first before some that I can’t.
I disabled everything except:
contact form 7
embedly
feedburner feedsmith
google xml sitemaps
wordpress database backup
WP-Table reloaded
and STILL not getting the emails as described above.
probably easier to tell you what i do have installed with it working…
Contact Form 7
WordPress SEO
WordPress Database Backup
Akismet
jetpack disabled
Now I’m UTTERLY confused.
I decided to try again on another site I was planning on taking offline and I ran into the same problem. Then I disabled ALL of the plugins and added them back in one by one testing the form each time with incremental subject lines so I was certain I was getting each message.
I reenabled every single plugin I had previously had active and the contact form continued to send to me.
So I went back to the other site and started to try the same thing. Didn’t work. Then I decided maybe there was some sort of typo in the email address I wasn’t seeing so I changed what email address it went to. It went fine. Switched back to the correct email address and sent. Nothing. Checked the spam folder. Nothing. Checked the trash. Nothing.
a) I have no idea why deactivating the plugins on one site and then reactivating everything one by one seemed to work.
b) I still don’t know why, even with nothing else turned on on another site I can’t get it to send to the correct email address. Other things are coming in fine to that email account so it’s not a problem with that part either.
Totally baffled!
FINALLY found the solution to my problem and posted it over on a thread with a lot of other possible solutions:

SO obscure and also why I could get it to work with some accounts (or what I thought for a brief bit was site specific vs email specific) but not the one I was trying to get it to work with!
