You might try outputting your variables first to make sure they are
assigned what you expect them to be assigned. That is usually the first
place to look.

Something as simple as:

$msg = stripslashes($msg);
echo "Message:<br>".$msg."<br>";
echo "Mail Headers:<br>".$mailheaders;

Always check your inputs.

Then check to make sure the mail() function is working.

$result = mail("abc7@gmail.com ","Contact",stripslashes($msg),
$mailheaders);
if(!$result) {
echo "Mail function not sending mail.<br>";
}

This will not tell you if the mail is deliverable, but will tell you if
the function sent the data to the server.

You way also want to ensure all your opening and closing tags are:

<?php
{code}
?>

Using the short tag <? can give you many headaches down the road.

Hopefully that will you narrow down the problem.
