 * Hi, I am fairly new to using WordPress and need some assistance setting up the
   emails. I am using Hostgator and need to know the basic settings for managing
   my sites outgoing emails..?? I have the email template set-up, however I’m also
   confused on where I can edit the outgoing emails?? Last question, is the WP-Mail-
   SMTP plugin better/easier to use alongside hostgator than the WP-SMTP plugin?
 * Any and all help is much appreciated!
 * Regards,
    Jon
 * If you need any more info about the site, I’m happy to send.
