anyone? anything? please help guys........i searched lots of posts in the forum but none of it solved my problem.....can someone tell what configurations i should have and which files? what are the default files and pathes? this is urgent.................
hey gavin thanx for replying...........no....no errors in log after trying to use the contact form or when placing order or when a new customer registers.........no emails sent at all..i am using the 'mail' option and it used to work perfectly ,the only thing that works now is when i modify the order and choose to notify the customer,then it sends....and by the way ...when i open the order to edit i find that the customer was notified of the placed order but in actual....no mail was sent when order placed 
what to do now,help....
what to do now,help....
When you say you have 'mail' option, do you mean it's set to 'Mail' and not 'SMTP' on the 'System>Mail' tab in the admin?
Stuff that has caused these problems previously are special characters in store name (ampersand for example '&') and I believe there was a problem with hashes in email (-) but I think that actually failed validation so they wouldn't be able to register.
I suggest doing some tests where you know the email will not appear, then raise a ticket with your host and ask them for a copy of whatever log will contain the email logs for the period of time you ran your tests and post them here. That way people can have a better idea of what is happening as at the moment it's a bit like looking into a crystal ball.

man...i don't know whats going on? i configured the mail to smtp and still no result...at the error log from admin there are no errors.....ok, so why when updating the orders it sends email but nothing else? that means the email is working somewhere and not working in somewhere else??? i asked the host if they can send me a log as you said ....i have now the header for a successful email sent only when order is updated...could it help to diagnose the problem???
