Email Server [ArGoSoft Mail]

Q. How to send email directly from localhost to Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail account? Do I really need email client and email server? Do I need to configure "Server.tab" file or "PHP.ini" or both?

Scenario is; I do not want to upload the WebApplication, I want it to be locally hosted (Of course Internet connectivity is there for sending/receiving emails etc through Gmail's account)

Is it something like >> LocalHost will send text body, email header etc to Email Server and Email Server will use an existing email account (say im@gmail.com etc) for sending mails to any other account ??

Is there anyone help me out. Thanks in advance.

If you want to send through Gmail then you don't need your own mail server installed, you just connect directly to Gmail.

There are instructions for doing this in the wiki ;)

You'll also need to read the tutorials that show how you actually send the email since that page merely explains how to connect to Gmail.
