Sorry if this has been asked before. Using Form Builder and have a quick question....

Obviously when making a new form the first thing I do when uploaded is test it.

I have noticed that when filling out the form and entering my email address in the "Email Field" the form processes fine but no email will come through if I put in the same email address the data is being sent to.

ie: My form is set up to send the data to jo@aol.com When testing the form if I put jo@aol.com in the field of the form marked "email address" nothing comes through. Is this a safeguard with the form maker program or possibly something with my email provider (AOL)

That would be a problem with AOL. They tend to block more email then they allow through. ;)

Check your SPAM folder first and make sure it did not get trapped there. If you still cannot locate the email, try using a Gmail or Yahoo address and try again.

I've never had a problem with my aol email address and the form builder but my moms was sending the form to the spam folder. I finally got that corrected this past weekend.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

Right click the email in the spam and select Not Spam.
