Anyone have any ideas why? Just downloaded BP and installed, it seems OK but I can’t really test anything without being able to do a test-run through myself with a new register account…

If you have never received an email (and it’s not stuck in a spam or junk folder) then your web host may need an extra plugin to use email with WordPress.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/ ( http://www.callum-macdonald.com/code/wp-mail-smtp/ ) adds extra email settings to wordpress and has a tool to debug smtp / php mail. This plugin has previously been discussed: https://buddypress.org/?s=wp-mail-smtp ….

Alternatively the codex has another suggestion.

This SOB Gmail is spamming the verification emails. Thank you, aces. What a simple thing I forgot to look at.
