I've installed Drupal on XAMPP. After a successful installation there is a warning: Failed to connect to mailserver at local host port 25, verify your SMTP... Of course email doesn't work. I have Mercury Mail on XAMPP, but SMTP is offline, and I can't find a way to configure it.

Yeah this is not a Drupal specific but issue on how to configure your mail server to run in your local installation better you read the documentation for configuring Mercury server.

Are you trying to host your local Drupal installation? why bother for mail server to run in your localhost?

Thanks, I got Mercury mail running. For anyone else with this problem, there's a good YTube video for this:

I just wanted to be able to test everything locally, including notifications.

Having same exact situation on D7 install, want to test webform notifications locally. I am going to try to get this mailserver set up.
