 * The button throws me this.
 * Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘phpmailerException’ with message ‘Could not 
   instantiate mail function.’
 * And the option “Send emails via SMTP.” is not available.
 * Is there anything I can do to make it working ?
 * Thank You

 * I think you are working offline and you don’t have mail server installed in your
   system? Upload your website in your web hosting first or setup mail server in
   your local server.

 * No it’s already in my hosting company and online, is the smtp option
    disabled
   by purpose or it’s a bug ?

 * This means that you don’t have mail server installed or you are working offline.
   If it’s online can you send me a demo account of your website? Below is my email
   address.

 * Hello,
 * Just sent an email to you with all the details for the demo account.
 * This email was sent by wordpress that means my website can send emails ?
 * BTW the buttons in the GuiForm are looking like this with
 * Firefox
 * Thank You for your help.

 * Still have the same problem, even after uninstalling and installing your plugin
   again.
 * Sending mails from wordpress works fine, what can I do ?
