Hi, im really stuck, i cannot get my email to send back to me in freeform, but it does collect in the database. Also the ‘Communication’ area of EE wont send mail. I get this error when trying to use PHP mail…
Unable to send email at this time.
Debugging Message
Unable to send email using PHP mail(). Your server might not be configured to send mail using this method.
Can someone tell me what to do please..
Many Thanks

What does your host tell you about how to send mail?
Which version/build of ExpressionEngine 1.6.x are you using? You can find that out at the bottom of any control panel page.
The current version of the 1.6.x branch is 1.6.9 and the build is 20100430.

im using EE v 1.6.9
If i gave you log in details could you take a look at the set up EE?

Dimensions,
EE simply hands off the email to PHP using PHP’s Mail() function. If that doesn’t work, your server is mis-configured. Please contact your host about getting PHP Mail() properly set up. Keep us posted.
