At the moment i'm using WAMP which is a php/apche/mysql pre configured installer which is free. Are there any email server apps that can be installed and ready to use on a Windows machine. So i can just configure php to talk with the server.
Mercury mail and Pegasus. Mercury mail is a free mailserver that come with XAMPP but not WAMP, or you could just use the PHP mail() function after you set up your php.ini
Thanks mate, downloading mercury mail now. shouldn't be too hard to install.
