I'm using a Bootstrap theme called "Clean Blog" (https://startbootstrap.com/template-overviews/clean-blog/).
In the contact.html file, there is a note in the HTML that says: "WARNING: Some web hosts do not allow emails to be sent through forms to common mail hosts like Gmail or Yahoo. It's recommended that you use a private domain email address!"
I only have a gmail address. I made a new address with protonmail, thinking I could just forward the mail to my gmail account, but the e-mail still isn't working.
Is there a workaround??
I found an API called formspree.io and had to add a few class tags to the form.
It works such that the site sends the message through formspree then it bounces to my gmail account.
