Order dedicated email hosting from a reliable, spam free provider, and send your froum email through them. Increases security too, since it is a separate account from your web host.

@hgtonight
In your dashboard, there should be a link to Outgoing Email (e.g. http://forum.example.com/dashboard/settings/email).
What settings do you have on that screen?

@hgtonight sorry bro, but i found it.... it sends emails.. but the emails go straight into the Spam- maps of the e-mail accounts, so on my mobile device and the gmail app, i never get that email...
but thats a problem for me and the site... how it come they go into the spam map? because my older vanilla forums doesnt have that.... thats a real issue here.
If you are using a public email service that is free, chances are the mail will get flagged as spam.
Check with your host if they offer an SMTP server for mail services. They are generally included or cheap with your paid hosting account.

then whats the smtp username i need to put that in the dashboard, but whats the username? the name of my email?
so i make smtp account in cpanel
lol@domain.com then the smtp username is lol? how i need to see that?
This is an issue you need to work out with your host. Your host should be able to direct you as to what needs to be filled out for the mail to work properly.

I have an SMTP email with my host.
All I have to do is put a valid email in the Dashboard setting, and the host does the rest.
@whu606 ..
Yes thats the standard setting right? But then it comes into the spammap. So now i want to dit it with smtp, i dont know what to fill in by smtp user.. is that the name of my email or what???
Or do i need to leave it blank all, including the host?
All I do is put in one of my working email addresses, e.g. emailaccount@mysite.com
Leave the SMTP server box unticked.
Then the email is sent via my hosting account.
If your hosting account emails are being marked as 'spam' then you would need to find another solution.
