Our board doesn't send emails when user requests a lost password function. It's not in spam or inbox, it's just not sending. When they register, activation is instant.

How do I fix email issue?

There might be a PHP sendmail issue,is this thing enabled by your host?

Run this test: http://wiki.mybb.com/index.php/Help:Mail
If it doesn't goes fine then you need to contact to your host.

1st function won't help because it just opens to file nothing happens. 2nd one gives me fatal error.

The test script is supposed to test if the emails are going through with a simple php script and nothing else. If it does nothing and you do not get any emails using the test script then you need to get in touch with your host and bring it to their attention that your emails are not working.

No, email isn't getting in my inbox. Guess I gotta fix it with hosting.

Yes, you need to contact to your host.

I got a email just with a little delay, around 2 or 5 mins. But password recovery email won't work. (At least I didn't get it in that time)

Are you on hostgator ?
