Hi,
I am using Mantis 1.2.0a2. I am working as administrator.While I create a new user a email is send to the new users email id.But unfortunately the email can't receive on the users side.As the email contains the password of the new user so its important to retrieve.I am working on local host.Please advice me regarding this.

I had the same issue. You must configure the email sending protocol. Edit file config_defaults_inc.php, you will see a line with:

$g_phpMailer_method = PHPMAILER_METHOD_MAIL

I had to change it for SMTP use (PHPMAILER_METHOD_SMTP), after that everything worked (you may need another mail method depending on your config).
