    Hi,

    So it looks WP sent your emails, you just did not receive them. Check in Settings – General if you use the correct email address, try to change it.
    If it’s correct, try to contact your hosting provider about this issue.

    Hi thanks for your reply.
    I have tried using Webriti SMTP mail to send a test mail but it is giving 500 internal server error.
    The mail function of php is working fine, I have tried with a simple php test script to send a mail and it is being send to the email provided.So the problem is not with the hosting as I think.
    I have tried the code from http://www.butlerblog.com/2012/09/23/testing-the-wp_mail-function
    it is also giving 500 error.
    Now tell me how can I solve this issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    Your PHP mail function on the server can work well, but due to some setting in the server/hosting it can have some requirements how app/website can use it.
    Some host even disables SMTP at all, some allow send email only from Sender of a domain in that hosting and so on.
    Try to contact your provider 😉
    Try this SMTP plugin https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ it worked for me all the time.

    To test wp mail you can try also this https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/check-email/
