I have activated comments in ZP. I put a comment of my own expecting a notification in my personal email, but no "mailer is not configured" or something similar. I went through what I thought was the best place to put my email and my outgoing details "smtpout.europe.secureserver.net" alas once more lady luck has vomited on my eiderdown. I have cleared the error notice but my inbox is still unsullied by email responses. Now let's imagine I have done it all wrong, I would like to find out how to configure my email and I really would like to know why there is no tutorial, guide, or discussion anywhere that I can see to help me do quite a lot of things and believe me I have looked.

YOu have to enabel one of the emai plugins "zenphoto_sendmail" (uses the PHP sendmail default) or "PHPMailer" (can also use exernal mail services and needs to be configured bascially like a normal email program to use that)
