I've had  a few members tell me the Lost Password recovery wasn't working for them. Meaning, they'd enter their email/username and no replay coming.

 

Lost your Password?

 

Happened again yesterday. From a member: "it said that my email was sent, and I waited for more than 10 minutes, tried again, and even again this morning..."

 

Any ideas what might be going on?

This is a core function of WordPress, not powered by SimplePress.

Consistent successful delivery of email from WordPress sites can vary greatly for every site, host, or server.

One solution that has worked for me on various sites I've built that encountered email delivery problems is to use SMTP to send emails, rather than the PHP WordPress uses. There are various SMTP WordPress plugins available. I have had success using Easy WP SMTP.
