Fix Opencart Email Issue & Check Configuration

We have an opencart store which runs on a namecheap hosting account. We installed the store from the Cpanel installer and used a custom theme from themeforest but apart from that its pretty standard. Since installation we have never had emails sent to clients or admin about new orders. I would imagine this is a very simple cpanel or configuration issue which we have overlooked. We have also installed a dropship module called ([login to view URL]). This has never been configured but we would like it to send the order to our supplier after payment is confirmed. The last thing we need checked is order status notifications. We need to make sure that the system is set correctly so when a confirmed payment is made the cart sends the order for shipment All this stuff is VERY easy and for an exper will take less than 1 hour. Please do not bid more than $30 and make sure you understand all the requirements
