hi everybody!
I'm here because I have a problem with my Contact Form. Aparently is okay but when I check if the messages are sent to my e-mail address is nothing there!
I already have a paid domain (in portuguese 'Amen' internet domains), is why I don't understand the reason for not receiving the messages.

Code for 'index.html' file:

<form action="mail.php" method="post">

<input class="firstbox" type="text" name="cf_name">

<input class="secondbox" type="text" name="cf_email">

<textarea class="thirdbox" name="cf_message">

I believe you need the

<input type="submit">
