E-mails
I have installed ElkArte on my domain: forum.thevhgroup.ml and I have indeed found this one as the best and the lightest forum for my website. However, I tried resetting my own password just to be sure that the forum is finally ready to be released for the public. However, I'm not getting any e-mail. I've configured SMTP properly, but still, no luck. What are we supposed to do to make the e-mails go out properly? If just the SMTP, then, I'll have to check the settings again with my hosting provider. But, if anything else too is required, please, let me know.

Let's not mix things, please open another topic in support for that.
Okay, provided we are using smtp here, it shpuld work properly at least in some cases.
Would you mind trying with a gmail account for the sake of confirming if smtp works at all for you?
Then we can narrow the debugging.
BTW, I'm assuming you are using 1.1.1, am I right?

hello and welcome to elkarte!
wihich provider are you using as external SMTP? I use sparkpostmail and works fine for me. I am not sure, but I had some problems in the past using the mail queue so I disabled it, I suggest you to try first without mail queue. I am using the 1.0.10 version, I didn't test the external smtp on elkarte 1.1.

Try STARTTLS and the less secure apps option in GMail.

Oh! I just saw that even if I use Gmail SMTP, I'm still receiving emails from the Yandex account (the Yandex account is my admin account's email address, maybe, that's why?) So, is it true? If this is the case, I have no issues in using Gmail SMTP. I just want the forum email to be the Yandex one.
