i check email by outlook it's work . i check send mail by Mercury send mail in admin panel and it's correctly work .

but i can't send email and can not recive this email by outlook when i use mail php function .

why ?

please help me

Solution

I got it . i set this config and now i can recieve my sent email in outlook:

I just need to configure D:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.ini By default, it contains the line

smtp_server=mail.mydomain.com

I had to change it to

smtp_server=localhost

No need to configure this in the older versions of XAMPP. The correct configuration for [mail function] in D:\xampp\php\php.ini is

; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with an SMTP Server like Mercury SMTP = 127.0.0.1 smtp_port = 25

; XAMPP IMPORTANT NOTE (1): If XAMPP is installed in a base directory with spaces (e.g. c:\program filesD:\xampp) fakemail and mailtodisk do not work correctly. ; XAMPP IMPORTANT NOTE (2): In this case please copy the sendmail or mailtodisk folder in your root folder (e.g. C:\sendmail) and use this for sendmail_path.

; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with fakemail for forwarding to your mailbox (sendmail.exe in the sendmail folder) sendmail_path = "\"D:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"

; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with mailToDisk, It writes all mails in the D:\xampp\mailoutput folder ; sendmail_path ="D:\xampp\mailtodisk\mailtodisk.exe"

Now, I'm receiving mails in my inbox. Please note that "D:\xampp\" is my XAMPP installation path.

Thanks to all friends

We use Outlook for email client. So just get the outlook information and plug it in. Correct?
