I Ticked the box yes for the members to activate their account, but the activation email never came...

I even tested it and it NEVER came!!

So what's the problem?

AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Email Options -> Enable '-f' Parameter. Try that and see if it helps.

Also check your email in maintenance>diagnostics>email to make sure your forum is able to send the test email.

Both doesn't work...

bluescorpion, I get an error when I put my email in and click Send

"The mailing function returned an error while trying to send the mail.
Check your mail server to ensure it is configured correctly to allow PHP to send mail from it. You should also check your mail server's error log for more diagnostic information."

Are you using the SMTP Email Settings? Here is something to try. Create a test.php file and add the following code:

<?

// ---------------- SEND MAIL FORM ----------------

// send e-mail to ...
$to="[email protected]";

// Your subject
$subject="Test";

// From
$header="from: your name <[email protected]>";

// Your message
$message="Hello \r\n";
$message.="This is test\r\n";
$message.="Test again ";

// send email
$sentmail = mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);

// if your email succesfully sent
if($sentmail){
echo "Email Has Been Sent .";
}
else {
echo "Cannot Send Email ";
}

?>

Add a valid email address where is says, "[email protected]" (2) and see if the PHP Mail() is working. Upload the test file to your root folder and run it in your browswer to execute it. If its NOT working, You will either need to get your ISP/Host support to fix it or you will need to setup and use the SMTP email in vboptions.

No I'm not using SMTP Email Settings.

And I followed your instructions, but when I go to www.YOURDOMAIN.com/test.php It says "Cannot Send Email"
