Group: Member Post Group: Newbie Posts: 4 Status:	I have successfully installed AMPPS on a Windows 7 box and all is working perfectly except for email. I access my box with the following addresses: 127.0.0.1 localhost and I have created a parked domain ITC so I can access it from anywhere by going to //itc/ Now, every time I try to install a script I have to provide an email address. I don't have a mail server on this machine but I have a Microsoft Outlook account that I'd like to use to send out message from so when I install an script I want to get email from itc@outlook.com (already setup). I am a newbie and hopefully someone with more experience can help me set this up the simplest way possible. So basically my questions are: 1. Do I really need to have a mail server (e.g. hMailServer) in order to send out emails from my localhost? 2. Can I just use an outlook.com or gmail.com SMTP account to send emails? 3. What do I choose under AMPPS-ADMIN > Email Settings > Mailing Method - PHP Mail - SMTP Thanks guys
