hi all,

i have installed drupal 4.7b4 on my xp with xampp 1.5.1, php5.. everything is working fine. am able to access the first login page to create my first user and all.. but i am not able to figure out how to get emails across on my localhost.. seems like drupal was able to send the mails but was uable to retireve any on my machine..

thanks in advance on all replies to my queries..

... in your apache\bin directory edit your php.ini file to use your SMTP server. It looks like this:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = smtp.domain.com

thanks for the speedy reply..

for my smtp i use localhost.

was under the impression that since i use the mercury mail server supplied by xampp i should be able to route the mail directly to myself instead of thru my local isp smtp..

since this is my first drupal installation i thought i may have screwed the installation process.. i have checked when i tried to create another user i did not recieve any error msgs..

maybe what i am asking is where do i go to retrieve my mail @localhost..

sorry if it seems kind of silly to ask..

... check your Mercury mail settings. I use IMail server on our intranet so I don't have any experience with Mercury mail.

Try here:

-- good luck!
