you're working on a local machine without a mailserver. Investigate the smpt.module or ignore the warnings. Once on a live server those warnings won't be there

can you elaborate on the Investigate the smpt.module part?
i guess i cannot ignore the warning since i cannot get my account created without receiving the email that is supposed be sent from here, and i am not able to edit my local website without the account, is this right?

you can activate your account in administer -> users
1st created user doesn't require email authorization
the smtp.module may allow you to use your ISP smtp connection or a google gmail connection
