 * From past experience, I would recommend trying to send e-mail from your web hosting
   service in another manner: one that you know should work.
 * Not knowing who you are hosted by, I cannot give specific advice. But if you 
   have access to cPanel, try using the Webmail feature (Mail-Webmail) to send an
   e-mail to yourself at your Internet Provider’s e-mail address for you NOT to 
   your web site that goes through your web hosting service.
 * This will determine if your web host has problems sending e-mail, as opposed 
   to it being a WordPress problem.

 * ok, a bit over my head so let me see if I get this right. I am hosted by GoDaddy.
   I should go to the control panel in my wordpress and send an email to myself,
   to my regular email not to my webite. I’ll try that. Thank you.
 *  Costomweb, I did not understand your post at all.

 * Yes, the point here is to see if you can get ANY e-mails from your web site. 
   If not, then your web host is at fault, and is not sending e-mail, or it is at
   your end: either you Internet provider or your e-mail software is blocking e-
   mail from the GoDaddy mail server your web site is assigned to, either as spam
   or as a mail source with “a bad reputation”.

 * Adiant,
 * Did all the above. Contact forms work (tried several), I’ve emailed from a PHP
   script I made from the server, and other websites I have hosted there email. 
   That being said, installed yours a couple times – no email sent.

 * You might install and try the plugin: SMTP
 * This plugin configures WordPress to use a SMTP server when sending emails instead
   of the default PHP mail() function.
    It also creates a settings page where you
   can enter the SMTP server details and authenticatin credentials if needed
