Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the prompt answer. After filling out the form and submitting it, the response is immedeately -it taks a few seconds to get the mail in my outlook express. My problem however is that the e mail address from the sender is not shown in the "from" field in my inbox. Instead of the senders email adress one of my email adresses shows there. I believe I have to do a setting somwehere but do not know where.
Regards Hanno

This is all dependant on the processing interval of every mail server in the path of your message being delivered. You have a minimum of 2 servers; the web host mail server, and your own ISP email server.
In addition you have your own email client software (Microsoft Outlook for example) that has it's own processing interval (look for new mail every 15 min for example).
If you find the email header you can track the path of your message and the time it spends on every server. If every server takes action immediately then the one you have control over is your email client software. You can look for mail manually by clicking on the "send/receive" email button.
If the delay is on some other server there is not much you can do about it.

Greetings.
Is it normal for it to take an hour or more for data sent via forms arrives in an e-mail account?
My for is working. It's sending responses to my e-mail account. But sometimes it takes 2 minutes and sometimes an hour or more.
Thanks,
Kevin
