If you want that the sender of the form will receive a confirmation mail, you need to add the following steps:

• open General Settings
  
• Scroll down to E-Mail Setings (confirmation mail to user)
• In the field "To" address choose Field: Your email address
• click on Save

Now you have successfully created a fully functional form with 4 different field types. Click on the second icon on the top of the page (a modern browser will show the tooltip View), and you can view your form in the frontend and test it.

Of course, you can change lots of settings to make the form match your needs. On the subsequent help pages the settings and possibilites of MPForm are described in detail.
