Not getting notification emails…

Hello there,

I’m new to WordPress. I’ve got a problem with not receiving emails from WordPress (Notification emails, and Contact Form messages)

Please help. I’ve tried using a plugin called ‘check email’ but that throws up a ‘500 Internal Server Error’. I also tried the ‘WP Mail SMPT’ plugin but I can’t even send a test email successfully with that.

I’ve also called my hosting provider (Godaddy on plesk). They said they could see no problems, though trying to run WordPress on a Windows server is bound to be problematic. Not sure what they’re talking about there?
