So to understand this correctly. If I decide to configure the Email Setting to SMTP and enter the Gmail server information and my account password, I don't require to run an email server in order for my scripts (e.g. Joomla Social and WordPress BuddyPress) to send out email messages to non-local email addresses like @yahoo.com or @hotmail.com
Correct?
No. You will only get an installation details from Ampps. We don't configure Joomla, WordPress, etc to send mails.
Thanks tidus. I used the Gmail account SMTP settings you provided and I am now getting emails after each installation and removal of a script which is nice but things like "Forget password" feature on these scripts is not able to send out email.
Now that I kinda know how the SMTP setting works I am wondering how is the function of the PHP Mail option from the email setting drop down menu? What would you guys do to get this email thing working across the board just like the hosting providers?
