PHPRunner General questions

I have my registration set up so that an activation email is sent to the new user. I can see that the new user and the correct email address has been entered into my database but the activation email has not been received by the new user.
Also, for my own user account, I requested that a password reminded has not been sent either.
What do you think I am doing wrong? Thanks!

Make sure email is configured properly on your web server (ask your web hosting provider about it). Also make sure you enter correct SMTP server settings in PHPRunner under Security-User login settings.

Thanks! I did not know where the email account needed to be established - never really though about it before now.

So, when I set this up to send emails, those emails will come from my email account on my webhost's site?
My webhost email account for this website, I have email user admin@fortheloveoflabradors.com.
Will this be the 'FROM' email address in the registration set up?
With that, if I do not want to set up 'custom' emails and do not check that box, does SMTP need to be set up and would the user and password be admin and admin's pw?
Thanks so much!
