    Default Can anyone provide a tutorial to use Gmail as local wamp server's mail server?

    I am sure many "totally zenned" have done this before: I already set up wamp server on my local machine so I can learn/create/debug zencart website locally, but without mail server, some important features cannot be tested.

    I wonder how can I set up gmail as the mail server for my local wamp server? or if there is other mail server that I can use and how to configure it if there is any?

    Thank you very much.

    I've not looked at your attachment. Please explain why you're posting a file that already comes with Zen Cart.
    I can follow the instructions I posted above and use gmail just fine from a localhost setup. I don't need to alter class.smtp.php for any reason. Why did you?

    Sorry, I didn't alter any thing to the file, the reason I posted here is I came across one of your old post so I thought you might to read it.

    I want to use Gmail for my local wamp/zencart installation.

    I follow the instruction but it still gives me the above error. For your information, I copied the steps here:

    Email Transport: SMTPAUTH
    Email Linefeeds: CRLF
    SMTP Username: your gmail/google-apps-mail username
    SMTP Password: your gmail/google-apps-mail password
    SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com
    SMTP Port 465 or 587 (I tried both)

    Thank you for your reply.

    The instructions work fine for me.
    Must be something blocking it in your firewall or internet connection.

    Do you have special configuration in your gmail account? Maybe that's what I've missed?

    Posting here (port 80) is completely different than trying to send email (other ports, often blocked by ISP).
