BuddyPress

Users aren’t recieving confirmation emails upon registration.

Users show up in the User section of wordpress but cannot activate the account as not recieving the email.

Sometimes the email gets stuck in spam or junk filters.

To get email working, some web hosts require an extra wordpress plugin, such as:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/configure-smtp/

wp-mail-smtp and configure-smtp can send a test email which often provides useful debug information!

This is a frequently discussed issue here and people have found all three different plugins useful – there may be others.
