using the web interface.

Strange. Have you configured your email-server settings in the "general" section?

found the fix

Just as a follow up - is your ownCloud on a hosted server?

Or are you using CPanel?

When I try setting up the server in the "admin general section I get

"You need to set your user email before being able to send test emails.

It is a hosted server I use

The files:
lib/private/Mail/Mailer.php
lib/private/Mail/Mail.php
Is not exsisting in my folder. Shall I just make the files manually?
