Basic e-mail question

I just hosted my website with Surpass hosting. The last page on the site has a contact form where people can e-mail me. I thought I had it set up to send these e-mails to my regular comcast e-mail account but when I test it nothing comes to me. Now I can solve this in one of two ways:

1. I would prefer to have my contacts e-mail sent to my current comcast account because I have my computer set up to tell me when a new e-mail arrives and I monitor it regularly. How would I do that?

2. I am capable of changing my ways and could learn use the mail account associated with my surpass site but I don't know where or how to access and manage it.

I'm sure there is a very simple solution to either scenario but I don't know where to look for either of them.

Thank you,

Vicki

Do you have a link to the page, and also the code for the page? Are you using the PHP mail function? or another script?

Dew,
I'm so dumb at this, but a quick learner, please bear with me and I will try to tell you what I know. My web address is vickiderksphotography.com What do you mean by code? What is a PHP mail function? ditto script?

Sorry but I know nothing.
Vicki

vderks: I know how to do it within Flash, but without seeing your current ActionScript, I can't help. If you can post the ActionScript for just the Contact page, it would be a big help.

I've been playing around with it and somehow, I'm not quite sure what I did, but it works so thanks for looking.
