I know the message is there, because when I inspect element I can see span tag with the message, but it’s set to display:none.

CSS:
​

.wpcf7 span.wpcf7-not-valid-tip {
    display: none;
}

​​​​How to comment:

/* .wpcf7 span.wpcf7-not-valid-tip {
    display: none;
} */​​

In the mail section at the From: field

This is not available directly in Contact Form 7. It can be done via custom programing but you would need to be rather skilled at WordPress development using PHP and/or jQuery.

Using the default [your-name] <[your-email]> is very useful. It means you can simply hit reply to answer emails that you receive from people filling in your form.

But you need hosting that allows any email to be used as the From email. Most quality hosting does that.
