hmmmm so you would need to set up a mail account on your server in order to send mail? For example this is the CPanel for a site I host:

I'd need to create an account for the form (or use an existing one) to submit data?

Which although I'm all up for using your own mail server, it's a great way of learning how these things work, I think it's a bit beyond the average customer we have (not all, just keep in mind Xara built for those who aren't experienced in web technologies, and leading on, mail servers etc).

We're always looking to add more widgets to our designs gallery, but they'd have to meet certain criteria in aim of our average customer - free to use where licensing permits, no own mail server needed in terms of forms...

In terms of adding form capabilities to Xara it is something we are looking into.
