 * Hey Everyone,
 * I’ve been using WordPress for some time now to host my sort of online magazine
   thingie ([Intermicronational News Service](http://mnins.dr-spangle.com) – don’t
   ask). Compared to other platforms like Blogger, and even WordPress.com, the .
   org version stands out in a class amongst its own.
    However, a few days ago someone
   told me that their e-mail containing the password to their account on the service
   never came through. Thankfully, this problem was highlighted before release –
   if we discovered it after it’d have created a lot of problems for us!
 * I tried to register another test account and it didn’t send the activation email
   to me, either.
 * I was wondering if anyone can help us; if anyone can help us at all.
 * Cheers,
    Will

 * and what do you see when YOU attempt to have a new passowrd sent to you via the
   lost password option?
 * Thats the hint to your problem.
 *     ```
       The e-mail could not be sent.
       Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function...
       ```
   
 * Search the forums, its asked and answered.
