Configuring a working email client from localhost is quite a chore, I have spent hours of frustration attempting it. I'm sure someone more experienced may be able to help, or they may perhaps agree with me.

If you just want to test, here is a great tool for testing mail locally, that requires almost no configuration:

It worked right off the bat for me, hope this helps you.

I tried Test Mail Server Tool and while it worked great  you still need to open the email on some client   I found Papercut  https   papercut codeplex com   For configuration it s easy as Test Mail Server Tool  pratically zero-conf   and it also serves as an email client  with views for the Message  great for HTML emails   Headers  Body  to inspect the HTML  and Raw  full unparsed email    It also has a Sections view  to split up the different media types found in the email   It has a super clean and friendly UI  a good log viewer and gives you notifications when you receive an email   I find it perfect  so I just wanted to give my 2c and maybe help someone

You need a SMTP server to send your mail  If you have one available which does not require SMTP authentification  maybe your ISP s   just edit the  SMTP    mail function   setting in your php ini file   If this is no option because your SMTP server requires authentification you won t be able to use the internal mail   function and have to use some 3rd party class which supports smtp auth  e g  http   pear php net package Mail

Using an open source program call Send Mail  you can send via wamp rather easily actually   I m still setting it up  but here s a great tutorial by jo jordan   Takes less than 2 mins to setup   Just tried it and it worked like a charm   Once I uncommented the error log and found out that it was stalling on the pop3 authentication  I just removed that and it sent nicely   Best of luck

I used Mercury 32 and Pegasus Mail to get the mail   functional   It works great too as a mail server if you want an email address ending with your domain name
