 * Hi.
    Trying to use your plugin. Config everything and added [Contact_Form_Builder
   id=”X”] in you page. I can see the webform but when pressing submit I don’t receive
   any email on my side. I configure in the “email options” to send it to my email
   address but with no success.
 * Any clue what can cause to this problem?

 * Dear sagi4422,
 * You can use SMTP, which should always work.
 * You can use this plugin for example: [http://wordpress.org/plugins/webriti-smtp-mail/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/webriti-smtp-mail/)
   
   Setting up an external SMTP server, such as GMail should work. But GMail requires
   authentication.
 * Mailer: smtp
    SMTP Authentication: yes SMTP Security: SSL SMTP Port: 465 SMTP
   Username: your gmail full address SMTP Password: your gmail password SMTP Host:
   smtp.gmail.com
 * Thank you.
