The emails are probably sent to spam box. Check your spam boxes.

If you are using shared hosting, the email provider may have blocked all emails coming from your IP.

That doesn't make sense.

Shared Hosting is normally on external webservers provided by hosting companies. Email providers won't blacklist IP's because it's your IP.

Check Spam/Junk folders, if no solution please check that your SMPT server settings are correct.

Please try the following mail test script: http://docs.mybb.com/Help-Mail.html

If this test says it could not send the mail, or it said it sent but you did not receive any email, even in your spam/trash folder, then the issue lies with your host. If you receive the email from this test, we will investigate the issue further.

AvatarX is correct; mail providers will sometimes blacklist emails coming from certain hosts, like 000webhost or x10hosting. Contact your host if the php mail() test and SMTP maoil don't work.

I think Paul H. meant http://docs.mybb.com/Help-Mail.html
Note to the MyBB team: If that is a MyCode that you were trying to use to link to the docs section on the MyBB website then it needs updating/fixing.

Incorrect, They are marked as spam. Services like GMail don't blacklist IP's, they've very good spam detection filters, same with Hotmail, Yahoo etc.
