  The email function within WordPress is not working. When I try to change the adminstrator email address, I never receive an email confirmation. And, when I try to send a test email, I receive an error.

  WP.com: Unknown
  Jetpack: Yes
  Correct account: Unknown

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Your site uses a free copy of WordPress rather than our hosting service, so I can’t take a closer look, but can you try searching for the error message you’re getting? That’ll likely lead you toward the answer. You might ask your host for help, too, in case the server’s mailer is malfunctioning.

  If you need more help, I’d recommend checking in with your hosting provider. Or, there is another set of forums for the free WordPress software:
