I am working in localhost with Magento 1.7. When I fill the form under the contact us page (myurl/contacts/), I don't receive any email at all.

I have checked Admin -> System -> Genera -> Conctacts, and I have the option enabled, and the email set to my email account. I tried 'Custom Email 1' and 'Custom Email 2'. Still, I receive no email when I fill and send the contacts form.

I already tried to change $this->getFormAction(); and use getUrl() as suggested in other posts, but I obtained no result.

Whenever I create a new user, for example, I receive an email, so I guess that the problem is not sending emails but there must be another problem.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

  • Do you get success message after form submit? Also check your log files for errors if any.

  • I don't get success message. I checked log and saw no errors.

  • If there is no success message then you need to debug your contacts controller post action code where it is breaking.

  • Thank you. I already saw this but didn't try because whenever I create a new user an email is sent, so I assume localhost is capable of sending emails. I am using WAMP. I got exception 'Zend_Mail_Transport_Exception' with message 'Unable to send mail. mail(): Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set()' in C:\wamp64\www\magento\lib\Zend\Mail\Transport\Sendmail.php:137

You are using wrong SMTP settings for gmail. The correct ones are:

In php.ini

[mail function]
;SMTP = localhost
;sendmail_from = [email protected]
sendmail_path = "c:\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t -i"

In sendmail.ini

[sendmail]
smtp_server=smtp.gmail.com
smtp_port=587
smtp_ssl=tls
[email protected]
auth_password=**********

Remeber:

If you have enabled 2 step authentication, you have to create an application specific password.
