Bluemix.net's Wordpress boilerplate not sending emails

So I created a Wordpress page using a Bluemix boilerplate. Everything is working fine except for the email notifications. When a new user registers they don't get an email with their temp password. If I click on "forgot password" and provide an email I get the following error: "The e-mail could not be sent. Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function."

Anyone know what needs to be configured? I see that the Wordpress boilerplate comes with a Sendgrid service, but when I click on "Open Sendgrid Dashboard" I get a blank page.

Your help is appreciated!

Ok never mind... figured it out. Posting answer in case someone else runs into the same thing.

Turns out you have to go to the Wordpress Admin Dashboard -> Plugins -> Installed Plugins and "Activate" the SendGrid Plugin. Once you do that you then have to click on settings and configure by using your SendGrid account info (Which can be found on your Bluemix dashboard).
