Setting up XAMPP Mercury Mail Server to work with Thunderbird
I followed all steps of settings but Thunderbird does not send mails to, for example xxx@gmail.com, out. Please help to fix the problem. Thank you.
If you’re setting up thunderbird to work with localhost, for example a website you’re developing on the a test server (not live on the internet) , you need to set up emails to use on your website (on your test server). e.g. myTest1Email@localhost.com
You won’t be able to use gmail.com type emails on the test server as far as I’m aware (or at least I don’t).
Best wishes
