Please try to configure your email piping email in any email client like thunderbird, outlook, apple mail, etc. If it is successfully configured in the email client then please use the same details to configure email piping.

To achieve this you need to use the external cron method. You have to set cron in your hosting control panel. You can set up the external cron directly to the wp-cron.php file. Please see this article for more information. This will help you to set up an external cron. After that go to Support > Settings > Email Piping > Other Settings > Cron Execution Time and set it as per your requirement.

The user may be directly replying to the original email which he used while creating a ticket using email piping. He should reply to the ticket email notifications which are sent to him by our plugin. If they reply to the original email then the plugin does not get a ticket ID and hence the reply did not get imported into the ticket and instead creates a new ticket.

Also, please check the allowed email type at Dashboard > Support > Settings > Email Piping > General > Allowed Emails > Select All Emails.

Yes, the SupportCandy ticket form is fully incorporated with Elementor pages.

We use WordPress's default functionality for file attachment. WordPress does not allow all the file types, so you need to allow special MIME types in this setting.  

For example, file types like cam, dcm, stl, emb, pes, and jef are not allowed. So you have to add a file extension to the "Allowed File Extensions" setting at above and add "Extension:MIME type" at "MIME exceptions(One per Line)" in the given format. 

So to allow cam, dcm, stl, emb, pes, and jef types we need to add MIME types as follows: 

cam:application/cam
dcm:application/dicom
stl:application/sla
emb:application/octet-stream
pes:application/octet-stream
jef:application/octet-stream

You can find these settings at Support → Settings → General Settings → File Attachments

Please verify below steps for troubleshooting the issue:

1. You have entered From Name & From Email in the email notification settings of the plugin.
2. You have installed any SMTP plugin to send emails from website. Please note, if you have not installed SMTP plugin to send emails, mail() function does not guaranty you to deliver emails. There are many popular free SMTP plugins available on wordpress.org. We recommend Post SMTP Mailer plugin.
3. Try sending test emails in SMTP plugin to confirm emails are sending correctly.
4. SupportCandy email notification recipients correctly set for all notifications.
5. Also, check if you have applied conditions in the email notification template and they are correct.
