Email isn’t managed by the theme, but by WordPress and your server.

So, normally you need something like smtp email plugin or comparable if your hosting setup doesn’t work with sending form emails via php.

PHP’s mail() function does not use your SMTP mail server – it simply constructs an email to look like it came from that account. SO, depending on host setup it might not work.

W3 cacbe bas also been known to break sign up emails.

These might not apply to you, but “getting upset” about something working doesn’t solve anything, so best to simply look at what you need to do to debug why YOUR setup doesn’t work.

I would first check with your host to see if they have any known issues with using WordPress and sending emails from forms.

With your setup you might have to use this, which is common solution:
