I am using Sitebuilder to construct my website.
I have a simple "under construction" page and at the bottom is a contact form.
I have the email settings established to send the email to my personal email address, and two of my domain addresses.
When testing this functionality (by filling out the form and pressing 'send'), I get the message from the page saying "message was sent".
When I check the email addresses, there is nothing there from the form.
What might I be doing wrong?

Make sure the from address used is one you have created under email accounts, spoofing the sender by letting the user filling out the form using their email as sender email is not allowed and will be blocked by the outgoing mailserver.

For easy handling of emails set their email as the reply-to address instead.

This is what I have set up...
The email address is established on the domain.

I thought the email address they put in is so I can send them a message.

As you can see, the options tab has nothing related to email addresses.

Is there is a 3rd party (free) script available? If not, I may have to code this thing myself and I have not done any coding in over 12 years.

Using the email field or putting an email in the name field causes the message to not send.

Unchecked the email field and it works. Visitors will just have to put their email addresses in the message.
