                        <textarea name="message" id="Mymessage" rows="5" cols="30" class="text requiredField" onblur="if(this.value=='')this.value='W...';" onfocus="if(this.value=='Your message...')this.value='';"   >Wiadomosc...</textarea>

                        <input name="Mysubmitted" id="Mysubmitted" value="OK" class="button medium" type="submit" >
                    </fieldset>
                </form>

PHP

<?php
    if(isset($_POST['Mysubmitted'])){
        $to = 'myemailhere@gmail.com';
        $subject = $_POST['subject'];
        $from_name = $_POST['name'];
        $from_email = $_POST['email'];
        $message = $_POST['message'];
        $header = "From: $from_name <$from_email>";
        mail($to, $subject, $message, $header);



    }
?>

See your system log or apache log. It's possible you have no mail program on the system. — Abdillah, Mar 07 '17 at 22:51
Yes, at a glance. Try to give static value to `mail()`, e.g. `mail("youremail@mail.co", "subject", "header", "From: sender@sender.co ")` — Abdillah, Mar 07 '17 at 23:50

While code is free of parse errors (and there are many issues with it, including - but not limited to - undefined variables in case someone submits empty form), not receiving email can be narrowed down to one of two scenarios:

No sendmail on system used to run this code (ie XAMPP/WAMP)
E-mail ending up in junk/spam email in case that sendmail actually exists.

Please note that (AFAIK) no windows apache/php bundle ships with working sendmail, and that most of the free webhosts limit usage of mail function.
