Contact Us messages

I think this may be a simple question but if somebody uses the 'Contact Us' for to send us a message where would we see this message in admin?

Hi,
it sends the message via email.

I thought it should be by email but I'm not receiving any even when I send messages to myself or get friends to send messages to me.

You Must Check that your hosting service provide Email Service or not.
To see those messages in admin. you need to install any extension.
