Please help,

Email server address you need to get it from your host. It's not an email address, it's the address / name for your email server.
Email mode must be on and the server properly configured, if you want your users to be able to reset their passwords.

Hi ruirib,
Great, I will contact the hosting on the email server address. But once I get it, can you tell me which admin section to put in and etc.
Also, can you tell me what function that will work when I enter the "Email server address" there? that way I know what to expect.
Please advice,
Thanks

You need to change the section in: green with the correct mail server. (try with 127.0.0.1 while you wait to hear back from your host)
Select E-mail Component: CDONTS (IIS 3/4/5)
E-mail Mode: On:
E-mail Server Address: mail.mysite.com
Administrator E-mail Address: email@mysite.com
Require Unique E-mail: On:
E-mail Validation: Off:
Filter known spam domains: Off:
Restrict Registration: Off:
Require Logon for sending Mail: On:
Number of posts to allow sending e-mail: 10
Error if they don't have enough posts:

You could also try putting localhost in there.

Hi Classicmotorcycling, bobby131313, HuwR, ruirib
Is all good! I got the email server address from hosting and already typed into the "E-mail Server Address:" box.
Thanks for helpping me for the "forgot password" link and the "mail server address" information.
