New forms send Mail once fields added will not send/receive mail

So, once you change the content of the email, you no longer receive the email? Are you trying to receive the email at gmail?

No not gmail Mac .com
Once I change the default form , I no longer receive the mail.

I think by default Contact Form 7 uses a From Address of your visitor.

Would you :

• Change the value in your From Address from [your-email] to your actual [email protected] address
• Install an SMTP plugin to send your mac.com email through this server: smtp.mail.me.com, on port 587 with STARTTLS and password authentication.

Once you verify that works, try to change your form again and see if it still works.

hi
I did as you suggested but it still does not receive. When i choose Use PHP I can send a test email successfully. But the form still will not receive. I cannot send and receive a test email if I leave the plugin on use SMTP. I set all settings according to your instructions using my .mac mail address and smtp.mail.me.com address.
here is my debug log, with my password Xed out:
