Mantis Ver 1.3.1
Win 10 Pro 64bit
WAMP 64bit
PHP 5.5.12
Apache 2.4.9

I have tried all three:

$g_phpMailer_method = PHPMAILER_METHOD_SMTP;
$g_smtp_host = 'smtpout.secureserver.net';
$g_smtp_port = 25;
$g_smtp_username = 'me@mydomain.com';
$g_smtp_password = '********';

(using either those settings or my gmail account settings with not set to "smtp.gmail.com")

or

$g_phpMailer_method = PHPMAILER_METHOD_MAIL;

These both yield the message PDT MAIL email_api.php:1208 email_send() ERROR: Message could not be sent - Could not instantiate mail function.

$g_phpMailer_method = PHPMAILER_METHOD_SENDMAIL; and installing sendmail in my wamp directory I get a message saying can't execute /??/??/sendmail (I've lost the exact wording).


Has anyone on Win10 using localhost ever gotten emails to send? If so, how?

Essentially none of the methods will send an email in WAMP under WIN10 64bit.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Well, with enough googling I have found the solution.

It appears that modifying the mantis config file (for SMTP) was not enough.

It required that I set the SMTP host, port and from email in php.ini (and reboot WAMP of course).

Hope this helps anyone else.

Try to set these parameters and check the smtp port, looks like smtp to secureserver is 80

$g_phpMailer_method = 2; # or PHPMAILER_METHOD_SMTP, PHPMAILER_METHOD_SENDMAIL
$g_smtp_connection_mode = 'tls';
