   Have been using the Contact Form 7 plugin for years now. I've never had a problem with it. Excellent plugin. I use it on this page: http://www.pushsquare.com/about/

   It sends an email to my primary address: sammy_nospam@pushsquare.com. I've made no changes to the structure of my WordPress set-up, but in setting up a new contact form (for a competition) today, I've noticed that Outlook has stopped downloading the emails, despite the form giving me the "Successful" message.

   I investigated further, and changed the destination of the form to my back-up email address: get2sammyb_nospam@gmail.com. The emails went through instantly, and appeared in my Gmail inbox.

   I figured it was a problem with Outlook, so instantly downloaded Mozilla Thunderbird and set it up with my @pushsquare.com account. I sent a new message through, only to be informed by Thunderbird that "there are no emails on the server".

   I tracked my email records back, and noted I haven't received an email through my Contact Form since January 26th, 2011. It's unusual because I normally get at least one message a week.

   My @pushsquare.com email account is sending and receiving emails fine. Likewise the contact form appears to be spitting out emails as it works with my Gmail account.

   Admittedly I'm a little bemused. If the form is sending emails and Outlook/Thunderbird are working fine, where are these emails getting lost?

   Thanks very much in advance.

   I'm experiencing the same problem... very strange, but the gmail solution is a good workaround for now. Thank you!

   Now is there a way to recover the lost messages in the meanwhile? I've heard of at least two client inquiries that have vanished into thin air, and I fear that there may be more....

   I am having a similar issue with my website's Contact Form 7 emails. I'm not using Gmail per-say, but a business domain specific integration of Gmail. ...@dailyegyptian.com

   It says that the email is sending (php works), but there is no email to be found, and the mail is not going to spam.
